I was wondering what everyone thought was the best combo of brand of y pipe and cattback exhaust? A cattman y pipe ith greddy cattback? Another brand? Would it be best to get a ypipe and catback from the same brand? i need to replace my exhaust (factory) o i figured I beter get this info asap! thanks!

i dont think there's any difference in sound between y-pipes, and as long as u buy it new, there's no chance of bees in a can. Catback is where u have to get picky. I have warpspeed, love it and all but budget is cheaper and should be the same thing....obx catback is a good way to go.

y pipe=WS, catback=Apexi WS all the way. If you really want to take all the hp from this setup, add UDP and intake
my 2 cents.

budget Y. its cheaper, and they are allll the same the cat back is more of your choice...but do you really need one? no. no major power gain, just a noise change. that is the only deciding factor when choosing a cat back...sound

well, it will help the engine accelerate faster, and tach quicker. its nice, and a good mod in general (helps prevent power loss when AC kicks in) but...as far as i know, there isnt a full pully set, just a replacement for that ONE

[IMO y-pipe]
some orgers had issues with the flex section of budget y-pipe after a year or 2. but not all of them.

i say go for warpspeed y-pipe, jus couple bucks more expensive than budget.

[IMO catback]
2.5" inlet -
if money is not an issue, go for greddy sp system.
2.25" inlet -
if you want somethin quiet and still gives performance, go for apexi ws. OBX catback is good for its price, sound, performance.

dont' go for stillen catback cuz it's kinda expensive and it drones bad. (dont' like the muffler tip as well)

everything else you need is over here >> http://maxmods.dyndns.org/

please read all the information in the above site i suggested THEN post questions. just in case you get flamed by people (i.e. ivelweyz)

good luck

small correction:
"Since the pulley is underdriving some accessories, there are some rumors that the UDP will have a negitive effect on things such as the AC, power steering and electrical output."

but...

"But people who have them report these rumors to be false, and that everything works just as well as they did with the stock pulley."

umm... did you not read what i said. normally when you turn on the AC with a STOCK PULLEY, you get a mild power loss. the udp "helps prevent power loss when the AC kicks in" like i said. read man

Has anyone added the "Hi Flo Cat" between the Y Pipe and the Exhaust system? I've seen these and have been wondering if they come already with the catback system, or if you can add one between the Y and the B pipes...

They do not come with the catback. You can buy a High-Flow Cat separately. Check http://maxmods.dyndns.org .. Goto the performance section.
