Warpspeed or Cattman???

I need a Y-pipe for some time now and was hoping someone could help.
I have a HKS exhaust just replaced the resenator, still have the factory cat and now I need a Y-Pipe.
I wanted it to be stainless steel but not sure which one to get Warpspeed or Cattman.
Which one will make less noise with my setup and what's a good price?
Are they the same or do they have strong and week pionts between both manufactures?
Thanks

new plan, buy a budget. they cost a lot less than both your options listed and you dont have to deal with any fitment issues. there is no buzzing noise, only a little gurgle, which is unnoticable to anyone but you or someone who knows about cars. they are stainless steal, mandrel bent. it cost 250 canadian and 160 us. it is the best thing ive done to my max yet.

good luck

I got a cattman exhaust for sale. Used 5 days. $250 + shipping. Most people like the deep growl it makes, I personally do not, thus I'm selling it...

Buy a Budget they are awesome. If you listen very carefully to mine you can hear a quiet hissing noise, its not loud, it doesn't sound bad. I don't have any complaints with my budget Y

I had the warpspeed on my last max and it had some fitment issues. I had to modify part of the catalytic converter hanger or else the warpspeed Y would rub on the car and cause vibrations. I also had a bees in the can sound, so I had to use header wrap on the flex section to quite it down. I just installed a new cattman Y-pipe on my new to me max, and it fit perfectly. There is a small bend in part of the piping that the warpspeed does not have, and it really helps with fitment and clearance. The pipe looks a lot better material and weld wise, and it doesn't cause any annoying sounds. It may cost more, but its worth it IMO, sometimes you get what you pay for. Hope this helps you decide.

cattman fits are perfecto! For both Y pipe and exhaust. I was able to do install all by myself and believe me, if it didn't fit, I wouldn't have been able to do it.
