it comes with everything you need provided you dont have to hack off any bolts from the stock y-pipe like I did. Dont know if you saw my thread about a month ago about my whole ordeal w/ mine sounding funny so let me know how yours goes - id appreciate it. good luck

I think you can get a better price by calling Warpspeed. Ask for a quote and let them know you are a maxima.org member. They have special pricing for org members.

I just purchased a complete system from the headers back for $540 shipped.

well i think im gonna keep it for now - my problem is i had nothing to compare it to in terms of sound - i havent heard anyone who has it with a stock b-pipe. Since they sent me the new crush gaskets the sound has been a bit less. Normal driving you almost cant hear it, but anytime you get on the gas in first or second it gets pretty loud at high RPMs (which i know is prob the case with any aftermarket pipe) but i cant help but question it when the guys at WSP said it was supposed to sound almost stock when working correctly. so yea it would be great if i could hear yours to have something to compare it to. I think im gonna keep mine till im convinced its supposed to sound otherwise. good luck with yours - the people at WSP are really nice and helpful so dont hesitate to call them if you need to. and like i said you shouldnt need anything else to install it unless your bolts at the cat are shot. keep me posted. thanks

If you haven't already completed the purchase - call them and see what they say. Talk to either Dallas or the lady that usually answers the phone.

I have the warpspeed and I love it. Suggestion: get a fresh inspection sticker b4 you install it. RI inspections not friendly to y-pipes.

I thought the Budget Y-Pipe was $200 shipped? Why does their site say $250? Do they give a deal for us also or has it just gone up recently?

Also, they call it an F-Pipe, which actually makes more sense. I guess one of the .org members called it a Y-Pipe and it just caught on, sorta like AE Modden Headlights being black instead of bronze lol.

How much faster will the y pipe make your car run in the 1/4 all else equal? also are there any reliability issues?

ive never heard any reliability issues... im not sure of the 1/4 mile gains, but i would think with 18-20 hp gains it would be an ok gain, try searching in the 1/4 mile forums

18-20 i doubt it. id say 10-15. CM reported over 20hp and over 20trq w/ the high flow cat and their cool y-pipe but thats just for marketin reasons imp

you guys be the judge. http://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3...U2HQRSL7RWY6EV

this is the WSP Superflo with stock catback and HAI. Tell me what you think of the top of first and second gear (its like the last second of each one during the clip)

enjoyincubus - id really like to hear yours in comparison to see if mine sounds right bc i think we have the same setup. Good luck installing yours man.

This clip was taken in heavy traffic so I kinda had to wait to get on the throttle - thats what the delay is. ( sorry - i didnt have a camera man either)

i have read the thread and yes, i know he had problems with it. however, many other people according to some people on this site have had no problems with their super-flo's, so im not going to change my decision completely because one person had problems, and the 18-20 i was going by what they say on their ebay site.

its a great choice (and im the guy who had problems). and if you dont like it, the people at WSP are great and will work with you.

enjoyincubus had you heard that clip yet and if not what do you think. I know you havent put yours on yet but i didnt know if you had heard anyone elses clip and how they might compare? thanks man.

thanks man, that thing sounds mean, but there is that slight rattle when you get higher in the rpm's... i dunno man. no i have not heard a sound clip of anyone else with a super-flo. i cant wait till mines in tomorrow and yes, i will post some sound clips for all of u guys who want to hear it, as soon as i get my hands on my dads digital camera.

yes but as i have mentioned earlier, that amount of hp increase is for the marketing reason too. what company wanna post an increase of like 3-5 hp? don't always trust the ebay hp claims like the dum air filters they say give u 5-8 hp.
