Y-pipe sorry need a final clarification...

Y-pipe sorry need a final clarification...whats the deal with all the y-pipes. I know the majority's Warspeed, Cattman, Budget, and Stillen. Which is the best and that DOES NOT make the bees sound in the flex section??? I know about the heat wrapping. I need the experienced Org members and the majority to give there final word. Not looking for economics but least problems and durable. Thanks.

I think the Cattman sounds the best. I have warpspeed and at the beggining it sounded like rice but now it sounds a lot better.

Budget is the cheapest, and just as good as the rest

ive got the stillen one.. and i havent had any problems with it.. its got a nice sound too.. and doesnt rust because of the high heat paint on it.. im very pleased with it.. but they are all the same design.. and all eliminate the 3 cats that are on the stock y-pipe.. only thing ive ever heard about durability issues is rust problems..

I have the WSP SS one. I had the bees in the can issue, and the rattling issue. I fixed these issues, and now I'm . If I had to do it again, I would go with the Budget one.

Budget is fine. All the Budget ones I've heard have no bees.

If you're fancy, get the Cattman

I resolved the bees in the can issue by wrapping the pipe with headerwrap. I still had a very small amount of noise left, but nowhere near the previous amount. I ended up doing the Dave B. mod, which uses a hose clamp to attach to the bracket by the oil pan(the OEM pipe has an attachment for this bracket, but the WSP did not), and this made the car a little smoother, and killed the rest of the bees.

The other issue I had was the rattling around the catalytic converter bracket. I bent the tabs in toward the pipe and the rattling under my shifter went away.
