I drove to Budget on Saturday and they installed the stainless steel Y and B pipes as well as an OEM muffler. The old B-pipe had corroded away from the muffler and was very loud, so it was time to replace the exhaust system.

The guys at Budget were great, very knowledgeable and friendly. They test drove it with me to make sure there weren't any unusual sounds. Then I drove home from Burlington to London (90 minutes), found the exhaust quiet (similiar to stock) and no bees in can sound.

Very pleased with the service at Budget/LSS, highly recommend them!...Ray

Did anyone buy Warpspeed Y pipe ?
There are mandrel bent pipes on eBay.

Which one is better - Budget or Warpspeed ?

it's really a toss up... but i've read better things about budget on this site (less likely to get a bees in the can sound), so I just decided to go with them.

I installed the Y today, with a warpspeed high flow cat. My stock Y was shot, the metal braiding around the flexpipe was gone, there was only the flex part. LSS Y fitment and quality were flawless - no rattles, no bees, no BS. No difference in power noticed under 3,000 rpm or so. above 3,000 it just takes off. As far as noise, the car STILL sounds stock, which is exactly what I wanted. Thanks LSS (and warpspeed).

I got my y-pipe the other day and had it put on. Its adds lot of power and sound but in a good way. If you didnt call how else would you order it? i guess fax but you should still get it anyway. Are you calling the fax number or the telephone number?

You could try putting an ad in the for sale section - I gave mine away last week, and got a bunch of PM's within 2 hours, lol. Maybe you'll get lucky and someone will do as I did and help you out

Got my b-pipe, and it looks a lot better than a "local" B-pipe. The stainless steel pipe is really good, the bends are wonderful. I probably could use a longer, bigger resonator, but I haven't installed it yet, so I don't know how this sounds.

BTW, do you guys use some special thing at the resonator-axle back junction? The connection seems good, but I really want to seal it off.

Do you know any sealant that can witsstand exhaust heat?

I could probably fit the header wrap in that junction, but with the screws/bolts it's gonna be a PITA.

Did I read that right? The SS Y-Pipe is $200 Canadian? Meaning $175 American?

Just ordered the Y-Pipe. The lady was laughing at me because I asked to trade up a test pipe for a b-pipe. Apparently there is a 200 dollar discrepancy b/w the two, lol. This should be a fun winter break....
