Collecting some info for a Catback. Can someone help
I am collecting information to buy a catback system. I am a noob, can anyone tell me what brand is good and I want to know what is included with the catback system. Does it include a y-pipe? Thanks for the help

A cat-back system is includes everything from the catylitic (sp?) converter to the muffler. Note, since the y-pipe is before the cat, it is not included in the cat-back. Also, the cat is not included either. Most people just get a muffler, and have a muffler shop/exhaust shop bend a b-pipe (the pipe directly behind the cat), however Cattman, Greddy, and Warpspeed market cat-backs for our cars.

He is right^^ Just go to ur local muffler shop tell them you want a custom 2.5" cat back. I wouldnt pay over $120 for it without the muffler..with the muffler...dont go over 300. and no, there is no Y-pipe included u can always go to warpspeed and get one for 160 or budget for around 200 I believe.

If you have a B pipe made, make sure it's mandrel bent so that the Inner Diameter is the same throughout for better flow. Also, I don't recommend Warpspeed's B pipe because it doesn't fit right and bangs into the body and/or rear axle all the time. Their Y pipe is great though.
Get a Y pipe before you get a catback! The y pipe is where most of the losses are in the exhaust stytem, so that's where I'd start of you're considering an exhaust mod.
Good luck.

So basically you guys are saying that I should go get a warpspeed y-pipe and then go to a muffler shop like meineke and get a custom 2.5 inch catback for less than 300 with a muffler and less than 120 without a muffler? I was thinking about the greddy sp2, does it make a difference or its just the brand that cost more? By the way, would you guys recommend getting a budget y-pipe or warpspeed. I went on warpspeed website and saw that the y-pipe was 250, or is it just me that I don't see it for 160.

yes, thats what I PERSONALLY am saying, but they are right get the Y-pipe first...im going out and getting my resonator removed today and then adding the Y-pipe. as u can tell...I have done the order backwards, and im not very happy about it, but I was a newb when i was doing all that shiz.
