lol...sorry,
Cattman Y-pipe
Description: Most feel that his is the best overall quality pipe. It is made out of T-304 stainless steel, TIG welded, and mandrel bent. It has no "bees in the can" noise either.
Cheapest price: $350 from http://www.cattman.com or $350 from http://www.custommaxima.com but you also need to order gaskets for another $10.
from drewm's webpage, it is overall better quality (according to some) That's what I was going by. But you guys recomend the budget then?

Why pay $350 for something when you can pay $180 for the same thing. A y-pipe is a just a y-pipe. Budgets is stainless steel and so is the cattman. I got my y from budget and it was really good in quality and performance. I couldnt spend and extra 170 bucks for the name.
IMO though..

I agree, budget is great. I did a lot of research before buying my y pipe. I was leaning more towards warpspeed but after some reading, i purchased the Budget. Its great, quality is good also. It came with all gaskets and didnt take long to arrive. Overall I belive all y pipes are about equal. Their bent steel made to eliminate the Precats.

i've had my budget y-pipe for like 6 months now.... it's awesome... theres no bees in a can sound coming from it. infact it's only a little bit louder than the stock Y... but yeah, it sounds very nice. It's so friggin cheap, you can't go wrong!

Mine took about 3 weeks to get here...but they were on backorder....but from what I hear it takes about 4 days from Canada to Chicago to ship Budget's ypipe. If you don't like to wait go Cattman or Warpspeed...but if you don't mind waiting and would like to save a lot of money....go Budget.

Call that crazy Canadian phone number and say you want a Y-pipe. I told them I wanted their F-pipe and they said, "Yes, a Y-pipe" so same difference.
They pay the shipping. The total came out to $187.95. Once they email me the shipping number, I'm gonna track that bastard until it's a day away. Then I'm gonna drench certain bolts with liquid wrench, and let it sit overnight while I anxiously await the arrival of 15-20hp.
This weekend = detailing, cleaned throttle body, a little sprucing up of the engine bay, y-pipe installation, and WRX & G35 test driving with my father. Oh it will be a wonderful week.
