Actually, Greg Prete's site has a lot of the part numbers for the hardware. Also, the Stillen B-pipe does not come with the bolts that connect the B-pipe to the muffler (see Greg Prete's Stillen B-Pipe write-up). Last thing, if your exhaust is that rusty you may want to replace your O2 sensors too...

just to keep people updated...
I did quite a bit of ordering too. I have my Y pipe from Cattman ordered. Hopefully ship this coming week. I have my cold air intake that will be put in Monday. THen I am going to order APEXi catback exhaust for Catalytic through muffler part of exhaust. That piece will be about 450.00. Springs are bought and so are both front and rear tower strut stabilizers. NExt is Unorthodox Pulley and belts. 210 from Courtesy Nissan...This is addictive....

I ll put in my two sense i only had a K & N filter and the greddy exhaust on my car but I kept on reading about the y pipes and I finally ordered one for my car from cattman and I am here to tell you that it will give you power that is the one part that you feel the power and yeah it makes a bit more noise but I dont care sounds nice to me. It doesnt sound like air blowing thruough a coke can that I can vouch for it makes a deep throaty noise.

Y-pipes are good, as long as you don't get a Warpspeed pipe. I have a leak in my flex section and I've been trying to get it fixed for months, but they keep jerking me around.
They promised me over and over that I would get a replacement pipe and then after months of BS they want to charge me for a replacement flex section that I would have to get installed.
They seem real nice and make great promises...but they just don't come through.
I'll eat the $300+ and get a real Y-pipe - a Cattman.

To reply to you guys that want me to buy for you too. In a word, um,,, no. I will be eating tuna and rice for months to recover. Once the bug hits, you have to buy the stuff. I think I have a guy to put it all on too so that I have one point of contact for all performance issues.
