Warpspeed or Budget?

Warpspeed supposed to be the best gains, Budget noted as being the best bang for the buck. They are almost the same price considering free shipping on the warpspeed. Actually, a warpspeed with stainless is 250 shipped when a budget stainless is 250 + shipp. Sounds like a no brainer to me sinced i like saving money and want to keep the car past the 4 year no-rust aluminized guaruntee. Thoughts and experiences with the two pipes....

That's news to me, I thought they were both pretty much the same in terms of gains and quality.

The budget y is also listed in Canadian currency, so $250 becomes $193 shipped from what I heard.

Depends on what the dollar is worth that day. I would say go with budget. I've had mine for a while now, no problems.

How long does budget usually take to ship out a y-pipe? The reason I ask is that I'll be installing my y-pipe over my spring break, but want to wait to the last minute before ordering to make sure no good deals on used, good quality y-pipes come my way. So does anyone know how long they take to ship?

Since you are in the Florida area, there's not much snow right? So I would get the aluminized pipe vs. the stainless steel. My $0.02

Dont forget to add in duty fees that the courier will charge you for bringing the Canadian part across the border.
That's my $0.02

I was going to say...it's not the snow that rusts cars, it's primarily the use of salt to combat slippery roads that corrodes them away. There is just as much salt exposure living in warm climate areas but on the coast near an ocean as there is living through tough winters.

Does anyone have an answer to post 9: How long an order from budget/lss will take?

And IIRC, the stock y-pipes are aluminum, if that adds any insight (corret me if I'm wrong).

I myself have the Warpspeed on and found it to be better quality than most of what is out there. I ended up calling them and they gave me a good deal on a stainless y-pipe that was taken off of a totaled 98'. If I were you go with the Warpspeed.
