y pipe if about 15 horsepower.i wouldnt get the mevi unless you get the ecu upgrade otherwise its not really worth it. you lose most of your low and midrange power. i have a 99 and i noticed a big difference in the power loss.. but high rpms are much bette.i can feel the car pull alot more after 5000k

the mevi makes the car sound more refined in the high end...when it kicks in...and less menacing...but I like the sound changeover personally...the loss of low end and mid range is definitely noticeable unlike people say even with the ecu...but why are you in such a hurry around town anyway...(ie. most of your time spent in the low end there)....the only time you really need a lot of power is when racing which takes place in all the upper rpms...where the mevi pulls like no other!!!

Witht he ECU the loss is recovered but the gain you'd get with the stock IM isn't there either so you're pretty much at square one in the low-mid power range.

if you replace your y-pipe, sound will not change that much. sound like stock. get an intake with the y-pipe to get the most out of it. if you decide to replace your b-pipe make sure it has a resonator otherwize "a fartcan is born"

unresonated B-pipe only fartcan with OEM muffler. With stock muffler just has a kind of loud undercarriage note

Your sig states 321 HP boosted, and you DONT already have a y-pipe? ! The JWT ECU wont work unless they tweak it for boost, as you say you have, otherwise you can kiss your engine buh-bye

Yah what's with this question? I looked at your cardomain and it says you already have a y-pipe and mevi on your car. Just trying to get your post count up maybe?

if you're boosted a MEVI will give nice gains

The headers are a good idea for deeper sound and some added Hp but it costs so much...upwards of $900.
