Cattman Y-pipe installed!

I just had my Cattman SS y-pipe installed and I love it. Before I ordered it, I had two fears: that it would buzz and that it would be loud. Luckily, neither of those fears came true. The pipe does not buzz at all (either in forward gears or Reverse) and it's very quiet. My Stillen intake is much louder than the y-pipe and even with the windows down you can barely hear it (the rest of my exhaust is bone-stock). I haven't disconnected the battery yet (to reset the ECU), I'll do that when I get home from work.

That's exactly what I want to hear
I'm planning on getting the Cattman Y-pipe soon. In addition, I'm going to do my b-pipe too and possible use a 2000 Maxima muffler. Other than that, I want it to be quiet with great gains.

It took me 2 years to order my y-pipe
I wanted one of the original stainless Cattman pipes but I waited for the new version (with the flex joint) as I didn't want the infamous buzzing sounds. I'm looking at the B-pipe now (Courtesy has it for $189). I've never really examined my exhaust system before today and after seeing all the crimps in the stock b-pipe, I can see how the Courtesy unit could be of great benefit.

I paid $75 to have it done
I figured it was worth the $$ as I didn't feel like crawling under the car and fighting with every rusted bolt. I looked up "exhaust" in the yellow pages and went to the first place that answered the phone (there are no speed shops nearby that I'm aware of).
The installer did a great job (he only does custom exhaust and was very impressed with the pipe) and it took him 1.5 hours (his rate was $50 an hour). He had to heat 8 of the ten bolts to get them free (the only ones he didn't have to heat were the 2 that attached the middle of the stock y-pipe to the chassis).

Overall, happy with the purchase.
Just a side note, I have a Greddy catback, and the combinations is VERY loud!!
