mine didn't fit very well. i have a warpspeed. it kinda bangs around down there. i've heard cattman's fits really well without any mods to the body of the car. i love my high end pull though as long as its mandreal bent i don't see how any brand can do better performance-wise than another. but watch out for quality.

I have Warpspeed, but I had no fitment issues.
I also have a 1999.
Anyway, they are great and I love the extra power.
Not too difficult to put on either.

If you cannot get in on a group deal for a Warpspeed y-pipe for like $160 (they will probably do another one), I would say get the one from Budget at www.budgetexhaust.com. Best bang for the buck. Lots of people have them.

Warpspeed was smart to do all the group deals they have done recently, because they have reclaimed some of the market share(or should I say aftermarket share...ha ha).

i have a budget. had to weld hangers on bc they didnt come with proper brackets to elimante rattle. also when I replaced the o2 sensor 3 weeks after installing the ypipe(installers must have broken it during ypipe install), the sensor wouldnt come out without ripping all the threads out of the budget pipe, so a new bung had to be soldered in.

Got the budget Performance, no fitting probs, best bang for the buck, mandrel bent steel, they also offer an aluminium cheaper with a free test pipe. Stillen seems over priced, Warpspeed group deal seems to be good also

Got the warpspeed y pipe, pain to get on there (mostly because of rust on the old pipe), had a few rattle issues but they went away after I got the rest of the exhaust. Well worth it
