im going to be looking for a y-pipe pretty soon... and i stumbled across this http://www.customenterprise.com/view.../vts/design004 its stainless steel, and the price is good. i also looked at the cattmann y-pipe... http://www.customenterprise.com/view.../vts/design004 should i go with the better deal? or just bite the dust and get the better known name?
thanks

 

by the way, im combining this y-pipe with a greddy sp2 catback exhaust... and i eventually plan on getting an injen cai

 

both the same.....

Id get a cattman or warpspeed....

 

I dont think this has ever been asked?

 

cattman is really good from what i hear.

 

cattman if u can afford it otherwise warpspeed

 

Budget!!!!!!!

 

Cattman all the way but warpspeed is awesome too.

 

which y pipe is the quietest, i hate that awful bees-in-a-can ricer sound

 

10 char...

 

Just get a Budget SS Y.

 

i would go budget stylez yo

 

Your car is going to be LOUD with the Greddy Cat-back and CAI. If you are going for some serious growl, then you are on the right track.

If you don't care for THAT MUCH sound, you may want to go with a quieter muffler (Dynomax superturbo is good option) and forget about the air intake. Using the dynomax will not lose you any measureable HP, because flow is more than sufficient (even if lower than the straight throughs). And you will lose 5HP by keeping the stock airbox vs. the intake. Of course, the CAI will cause losses at different end of the spectrum...

Just my two cents.

By the way, I have the WS y-pipe and am pretty happy. It's aluminized, though, so may not last as long as a SS version. WS makes a stainless version, too, but you won't get it for $160 shipped!

 

Budget SS! Best bang for the buck

 

all aftermarket y-pipe gives you similar performance gain. go with budget SS y-pipe since its the cheapest out of all...but be aware flex section leakage in the long run. you may wanna consider warpspeed y-pipe, since they are the 2nd cheapest with good reputation.

 

Go with the warpspeed, I've got the stillen and have the weird bees in can thing going on. Bottom line though.....get a y pipe for sure.

 

I would deffinately go witha Budget SS y

Although Cattman are nice just $$$$$

Budget Y-pipe hands down!!

Ant

 

WARPSPEED!! it wa sworth every dollar plus no hissing or fitting problems!!

 

Your car wont be loud at all w/ intake, y, and greddy sp2. I am running this combo right now and I am deathly afraid of the riced out sound. The sound is deep and refined and you can definitely feel the horsies that u freed up. I would get the warpspeed y. But if u got the cheez, just get the cattman headers. Imagine cattman headers coupled w/ the greddy sp2. Makes me wanna bust a nut thinking about it

 

do you have any droning noise from the Greddy since you have a y-pipe coupled with it when your on the highway. I have the Greddy SP catback, CAI, etc... i wanna get the Budget but im scared the greddy will be to loud with one especially on the highway when im driving.
Whats your opinion?

Ant

 

Stillen Y-pipe here

 

I cant notice any droning, I think it sounds pretty awesome brother. But to be honest with u, I haven't heard lots of different exhaust setups on the Max, and the Greddy SP3 is my first exhaust setup. But the WS Y-pipe does make the exhaust note a little bit raspy at WOT. But the power gain is worth it.

 

Just get a resonator for the cat-back and get a budget y. With the resonator it should eliminate the beez in can sound.

 

how many automatics have the y-pipe. RIght now I'm jus interested in my car lookin' good... speed will come soon... my old Stillen Y-pipe was poops!

 

im an auto with the WS Ypipe!!!

 

omghi2u!!!!11

 

warpSpeed ....

Exactly dude. So many people say it's going to be loud. I think it's the people that don't have it. My combo is really quite and really deep. As far as y pipes it's all the same ****. Whatever one they have on there car is the one that they will tell you is the best. I have warpspeed on one max, and a cattman and i can honesty tell you there is no diffrence. Plus with the six year waranty that warpspeed offers, who cares about paying a 160 bucks for a non stainless

 

Straight from the horses mouth. Warpspeed and cattman are pretty much the same. if u are like me and pay the good $$ for the one everyone says is best u get the cattman. If u want the same damn thing and are on a budget u get a warpspeed. I havent heard a bad thing about either 1. You make the call....

 

I see Cattman, Warpspeed, Budget referenced...What about a Stone Mountain Racing. 304SS, mandrel bent, same y transition as others.
Headers & Y pipe...299.00 ebay.

 

Well it seems that most of you guys haven't been around long enough to know that Warpspeed and Cattman pipes weren't that great in quality a while back. They both used to have the flex section problem.
As long as I've known about Budget, I've never heard of anyone complain about their pipes. I have nothing against Cattman but Warpspeed has a weak ploy to diss the competition to make sales. Budget pipes are just as good or better than Warpspeed.

 

ya well, its not "awhile back" anymore. They are quality. Budget is fine too. just dont hear as much about them as u do good reviews for the cattman and warpspeed. Although if u are on a "Budget"(pardon the pun) they are a decent Y-pipe to buy same as warpspeed.

 

Well the stone mountain combo looks very nice. The welds look very nice. I would venture to try these out. I dont think you would have any trouble with these. They seem like they are good quality. Let us know if you get them and how they are.

Bruce

 

Check my previous post. I posted a link for Stone Racing equiptment.

I just picked up there header & Y-pipe combo. I was alittle skeptical of the quality based on the price, but after reviewing the product it seems to be of excellent quality. Everything is stainless steel, the flanges are fairly thick & all the bends are mandrell. Only real difference I see with the Stone Racing header design is that they are alittle shorter then the OBX & Cattman headers.

 

Well it sounds like this is something worth trying. If I dont go turbo for a while I will try this out. Thanks for the write up Im glad to hear my intuition was right. They looked like nice parts, so IM glad the are quality.

Bruce

 

No problem, I think even if you are or are not set up for turbo, the headers are still a good idea. Only thing that will change with the turbo system exhaust wise is the Y-pipe configuration if I'm not mistaken. But yeah, I was pretty amazed at the quality of there products, especially for the price. I'm gonna have to submit this as the new best bang for your buck, next to a nitrous system ofcourse

 

Dude thats true the headers are nice and short and that might actually be good for the turbo. Your right though only the y-pipe will change cause then it will turn into a downpipe off the turbo. So I think I will do this. Thanks this is almost as good as

Bruce

 

Almost as good as what? Dancing infront of a banana? lol
