dont waste your time. if it isnt going to bolt its going to cause more trouble than its worth getting it modded to fit. ws is only 160

Isn't the $160 Warpspeed pipe aluminized rather than stainless steel? Go Budget stainless steel Y-pipe.

I heard the stone racing one is good and less than half the price of both of those.

basically due to poor fitment; seems the pipe does not fit at all unless the headers are used as well

Don't get an aluminum y- pipe, stay with stainless steel.

its not aluminum, it is aluminized steel.....which means its steel, just not as rust resistant as stainless

ebay (y-did-ibuy) pipe: Mechanics special: Due to Slightly Imperfection on the Y Pipe Flange ? LOL !

dont mess around with junk: there is nothing wrong with warpspeeds aluminzed mandrel bent y pipe, i had it and ran my best et with it. if you have money then go out and spend more cash on a higher dollar one but it wont be any better the WS's or fit any better.

many people like budgets products and can testify to them

the stone racing stuff is junk, and it appears they cant give the stuff away. i dont know first hand, just have read from other members having tough fitment issues, and not enough gains to mess with.

if someone wants to buy this stuff and report back in then that is cool too, most of the opinions on products here is just to buy things that are proven and save yourself from the headaches down the road

yeah i had to laugh at that "slight imperfections on Y-pipe"

lol complete Y-pipe assembly that yields 10-15 hp, mandrel bends, low price for $110.......only drawback is that it won't fit on the car you buy it for

... will you care if it rusts through? Leaving you with horrible sounding exhaust due to holes in the rusted y-pipe?

just a thought

anyone who says that its good should be banned. This y-pipe wont even fit on our stock headers, the morons made it specifically for they worthless headers. There are like, atleast 100 threads/posts on the org about this crap, you donated, and you have the search feature, and you STILL post an idiotic question like this?

There are sound clips at vqpower.com. On this site they compare the WS to the new y-pipe by customenterprise.com. If the aluminized steel has more of a chance of rusting then how long would it take before you saw significant damage from this??
