Finally got around to installing the Catmann Y-pipe and yea I know everywhere on the site it says the y-pipe will offer a good improvment but HOLY CRAP,the thing is a whole new beast. I still have the rest of the exhaust stock so the sound is pretty much the same but WOT it does kinda growl a little more but the pull is much better.Good call guys.

 

Enjoy for now..... because you'll definitely want more. Its addictive.

Double post? ^^^^ j/k

 

I’m wondering you could install Y-pipe in Atlanta, GA area… I’ve heard most shops do not install Y-pipe for some legal issue… I could be wrong though.
What’s the current Budget Y-pipe price and still order from that Canadian shop?
Any long term emission issue w/ Y-pipe?
thanks

 

I remember that feeling when I first put mine on my 4th gen ..... nice

 

Your best bet is to install it yourself. I installed mine(budget) with handtools in the garage about 2 yrs ago. The hardest part is the bolts that attach the pipe to the converter. The can rust and be a bear to remove.
After 2 yrs I have had no problems with emissions. Just warm your car up first before you have it inspected. The Max is really strong now from 3k to 5.5k.

 

Even when in accelerating about 1/2 throttle, i can feel it pulling MUCH harder as soon it gets above 3200rpm. I have the budget y pipe BTW.

As other people said, enjoy for now because you will want more very soon. I wanted more like half an hour after installing it!

 

the Ypipe definately gives it some kick, but after a while, u would want more speed... I know I do

 

Sounds great! its getting me motivated to buy one.

Still cant decide between the Budget or Cattman...

Havent heard any comparisons...

 

Hell yea Im ready for something else now...I have a Catmann CAI but just havent had that kinda time to install yet but hopefully during the week I might. If I get the rest of the exhaust will that mainly add sound or power increase too? Im pretty pleased that the sound didnt change hardly, I wouldnt mind a little bit though

 

Can't wait to get mine installed and try it out!

 

oh by the way, do BUdget still have those discounts on the SS Y-Pipes?

 

The question is, what's the next mod you're going to do after the Y pipe?

 

^^^^^^^ Cai!!

 

damn... I need to get one for myself.

 

Yes, the Budget Y-pipe special is still on through the month of November.....i plan on treating myself to one here VERY soon...i keep hearing about how much it helps--i need proof!

congrats man....so what's next?

 

00vi....pretty much anything else n/a you get besides 3.5 swap won't give you really noticeble gains. You could find an 00vi setup for around 500 im guessing.

 

i will be receiving mine for x-mas....I miss my old maxima with a y-pipe

 

dont forget budget Ypipe also comes with free Test Pipe

 

man, i can't wait to get a y-pipe now! .. my brother keeps on messing up the max so I don't wanna put $$ into til i get my own max or som'n...

 

Look at the dyno charts on www.motorvate.ca.

Apart from the endorsement of numerous .org members, how much proof do you need?

 

.. im having trouble finding the website.. you guys have the link.. i googles but it brings up some weird site..

 

What link are you looking for??

 

yea what site is the budget y-pipe on?

 

http://lssexhaust.com/

 

Here you go. Click on custom parts on the homepage. They call it the f-pipe!

thanks a lot

 

That is LSS exhaust. Their stuff looks good, but I never heard of them??

 

LSS is budget. Changed names.

 

Yep! LSS is Budget!! The address is the same and the website is much slicker! They must be making money off those y-pipes

 

husband and wife running the shop...really nice people. I got my y-pipe, high flow cat and b-pipe from them and they're awsome pieces

 

Lol..yea its gonna be the CAI,Ive had it for about 3 weeks now but never got around to installing. I would love to get the 00VI but I dont think its anything I would wanna tackle myself. I would have to find someone in my area to install...think it will be cheaper for now to go ahead and install the CAI and finish off the exhaust and call it a winter,then come spring try to do the 00VI.

 

Cattman all the way!!! I had mine on for a year and no rust, no problems.

 

.. wow wow wow... i already have my F pipe tucked in in my pants.. = )

thanks for the links...
