Hey guys i was wondering if it worth getting a y pipe with a stock mufler? i have a brand new bpipe..
and u guys think there will be a diff? car is an auto and i hate the sound of an auto with a loud mufler...
and good brand for the y??

 

It's definitely worth it. You'll still feel the power stock muffler or not. Here's a vid of how my stock muffler sounded with the y-pipe:

or you can get a 5 gen muffler, sounds even better , i had that on my 1997 max now i will do the same on my new 99. i had warpspeed y pipe for 200$ shipped and had no problem with it.

 

Y-pipe with stock exhaust is the best bank-for-your-buck mod on the 4th gen. Adding a 5th gen muffloer will improve it more, but not as much as a resonated B-pipe on top of the Y-pipe.

 

I used to have headers and a y-pipe (as well as a high-flow cat and budget b-pipe).

It was too loud for me. Yours doesn't sound very loud. Do you think the headers is what was making my car so loud?

Got any vids of inside the car with just a y-pipe?

 

Headers definitely. Sorry but no vids from the inside. Even now with the Stillen muffler, it's still nice and quiet.

 

i have this same setup y-pipe with stock muffler and i love it not loud at all and my car takes off like a bullet from a stand still

 

I had the ypipe and stock muffler setup for years. It sounded awesome and the power was great. I went ran a 14.9 in the 1/4 mile with that setup also.

 

wow sounds surprisingly good. I am in the process of getting a y pipe and a magnaflow hi flow cat from warpspeed, and I have a OBX cat back sittin in the basement waitin to get the y and the cat to hook the whole thing up. cant wait to hear how it sounds...

 

5th gen bolts right up right? I have a stillen catback right now and its sooo loud, it sounds like a muscle car

 

Nope, has to be welded. Or alternatively, you could have a flange welded on I guess.

I didn't care about the flange, so I had mine welded on. Not sure which one is more expensive.

Now all I need is a damned Y-pipe. My flex section is looser than ho' on payday

 

IIRC it doesn't. It'll have to be welded on.

 

Sounds like he has an exhaust leak somewhere. Mine sounds nothing like that and I'm running a Budget Y, B and stock muffler. It's quiet.

 

It was quiet and still is.

 

Thanks for all the input guys, i think ima go with the budget y, they just bolt right in or needs to be welded?
and where can i find then to buy?
maybe warpspeed y pipe? 200 bucks on ebay?

 

Pardon the intrusion.....but I've got an auto too and I've always had a hankering to get a Y-pipe and I was curious to know if any of y'all auto guys lost any low end after it's install. Also curious to know the benefits of a resonated B-pipe and if it adds any extra noise to the exhaust because honestly that's the last thing I want. Extra power yup, extra noise nope. I'm a slightly older cat so the increased noise (and most likely attention) is something I'd prefer not to have.

Thanks.

 

Yes they just bolt right up. Warpspeed is good. See if you find 1 in the classifieds on here. I bought mine for $80 used a while back. It was definitely the best "bang for my buck" mod.

Yup my low-end power has now been shifted to the mid-high range. There's nothing wrong with that.

 

You miss it?

 

Nah you just gotta step on it a little more down low that's all. I love the mid-high end boost, especially with my intake spacers and CAI.

 

Aye. Sounds good then. I've got no qualms hit'n it and to be honest, the mid and top is where I want it when passing anyway. Curious again though....since you have to bang it a little harder, have you seen any difference in your gas mileage?

 

Not really. It's a little better cause I did the KS resistor mod, so my mileage is a little over 300 to the tank. Not bad for mixed driving. Before the mod I was roughly getting 250-270 to a tank. I couldn't be happier.

 

Good news. I was getting about 285 straight up when I was living in Atlanta but now I'm up in the sticks so I've been seeing 360 plus. Even if I shave off a few it'll still be agreeable. If I gain, then ****** A.

Thanks for your input ChrisMan.

 

No problem. And some people say my posts are useless.

 

lol.

Quite the slaughter fest in OT eh. Grain of salt I reckon but perhaps take this opportunity to inspire yourself to get it done on your own. Break from the teet if you will. Look for ways to turn your thoughts, idea's, desires and knowledge into an independent path of productive enlightenment. Use your knowledge not only to help yourself but others as well.

Oh and don't be afraid of hard work, be it in whatever field. If it takes working a shyt **** gig in a mall then so be it as there is no greater reward than earning something for yourself.

Your a smart kid and were helpful to me so I have the utmost confidence that you have it in you. Time to get it done buddy.

Good luck.

and back to the Y pipe discussion.

Sorry for the sidetrack y'all.

 

You got a vid? I'd love to hear it from the inside of the car. I'd like a Y-Pipe, I'm just worried it's going to be too loud for my taste.
