* Any Help, Tips, and Opinions of Budget Y-pipes and b-pipes *

Being a poor old chap, i decided to do my research and after reading what a few old boys on this site have said, along with the help of the people at http://maxmods.dyndns.org/ ... i think that Budget fits my price range.

For the Y-pipe, or what I am assuming they call the "F-pipe" :
T-304 Stainless Steel, Mandrel Bent F-pipe

For the B-pipe: T-304 Stainless Steel B-pipe w/o resonator

Is this a wise choice? I plan on keeping the stock cat and the muffler. What are the pros/cons of the b-pipe resonator? How do these products sound? I need to replace the gaskets, do i not?

You can feel a difference when you get the Y-pipe....if you were to get the b-pipe with or w/o the resonator...id keep the stock muffler or a really quiet one, because if you get a aftermarket muffler that is practically a straight pipe, it can get annoyinglly loud, with a y-pipe, b-pipe, and a straight thru muffler....The B-pipe is good for about zero to four hp....I hope this helps a bit.

if your gaskets are rusted, replace them all to prevent rice fart.
