do we really need one of these threads every week?
and guess what its followed by?
"i just installed my !@#^@% y-pipe"........... BIG DEAL, 10000000000000000 other members have had y pipes since 95, u aint gonna get no award for dumpin a y pipe in ur car
y pipe is one of the freaken basic mods, just get one and call it a day.
all y-pipes are almost the same. the only differnce is bee's in the can and the metal its constructed out of - ie stainless or not.
i hear alot of people love their catmans but they dont last long - dunno why or whatever - but thats what i hear - plus i also hear they are really expensive compaired the the rest.
i bought myne from custom maxima - i like it, but i have a rasp - which does queit down with time (tho it doesnt go away). this was expensive making me wish i would have called up budget.
i would say buget is the cheapest and best way to go, there is no garentee that you will get NO bee's in the can (thats for all compaines) but i hear (emphimis on hear) that they have a 50/50 chance of getting one without.
warpseed seems to only do buisness over the phone - no email (may have changed?) they seem to have the best with the bee's in the can, but i think they cost more than budget (please correct me if im wrong - i just go from what i hear on this forum). lately i hear that they have been backorder so it may take a while to get parts - im unaware if this is truth, but its what i hear.
stainless shouldnt rust so go with that unless your car see's very little water (then go with the cheaper alternative).
dont buy anything from ebay - you will likly get junk - if it staits that its a warpspeed or budget or whatever on ebay - you might get a good buy - or you might get a y-pipe with bee's in the can that they just didnt want - who knows.
y-pipes will cause a good performance gain and will remove pre-cats, making it possible for some to fail tests (which all depends on the state) (am i wrong?)
y-pipe for some will cause louder exuast but this is said to be rare - unless you have a loud aftermarket exuast - i have a stillin and thats loud without a y-pipe - its really loud with one.

Living in the city, do you have any problems with emissions? When I lived in Lincoln Park, and the South Loop, I had to keep my 79 RX-7 registered to my parents' address here in Bloomington, because it would NEVER pass emissions... (plus it was a high 11 second street car... with a 3" straight pipe). I am moving to the city again around the first of the year... this is something I have to consider before I start going crazy with mods. Will a y-pipe and full exhaust keep you from passing Chicago emissions?
im not sure about inner city emissions. i belive the rx-7 you had was probably pre obd-ii (im guessing) so im sure it had issues. i dont live in the actuall city but the sub's north of it, and things for me are fine. as long as im not passing an obd-2 code here its fine, i warm up the car in the morning to make sure its nice before i get to the place (means i race there :P) everything passed for me. im not sure if chicago is differnt - of course if you dont have an obd2 system they will test for other emisions.

i've had my cattman for about 4+ years and it looks just like the day I installed it.. The ceramic coating has not worn off, nor has it had the infamous flex failure like warpspeed...

i hear that cattman has the best chance of NOT getting bee's in the can. i know alot of people that still have these in good condition - in older posts i hear that they have rusted etc... that was probably along while ago (only going on what i heard here on the forums).
