A comparison between Cattman and Warpspeed.
These are the facts that I've experienced and my personal opinions.
I am probably one of the few on the forum that has had both of these Y-pipes and can give a true comparison

Later on, I'll have side by side pictures and hopefully dyno info.

Are you someone who buys Sony? Or the Radio Shack brand? They both do the same thing, but one's better quality than the other.
*Note: the difference of the Y-pipes are this extreme, it's just an example.*

Great writeup!
Cattman must have dissed me. No instructions. No gasket. No neatly packaged documents. Just the pipe and a sheet of who to call for problems/warrantee. It was bubble-wrapped and box-stuffed though but UPS still managed to damage the outside somewhat.
Also, the Meineke guys said the fitment was not great and that they had to do a little "sumn sumn" to it to get it to fit. Can't say it was the pipe since the paranoid **** in me thinks that maybe they just want a little more labor time put on the clock (took 'em just over 2 hrs). I am wondering though why some say Cattman pipes just bolt on perfect and a few others report that it needed some adjustments to fit.

***edited: should have said NOT this extreme.
Forgot one word.
Dyno runs are a go! Saturday morning. Two runs with each Y-pipe.
