Warpspeed Y pipe question

I just bought a warpspeed y pipe and waiting to install it tomorrow. I have an otherwise stock exhaust system and an air intake, what type of sound changes should i be expecting? Do the warpspeeds sound like hell or would be more mellowed out because of the stock exhaust? Just looking for some insight. Please share, thanks.

before this gets locked and you get flamed I will tell you to search.

a quick answer is that the sound aint gonna change. you will get power with the same stock sound

Ok well i did a bunch of searching and i saw alot of people say that the sound changes alot, anywhere from a more agressive throatier sound to the "bees in a can" sound to absolutely nothing so i was just asking.

Very little change considering you have the stock catback. Maybe a little throatier/louder if you got the aluminum version of Warpspeed's ypipe.

Have you not already gotten your answer?

Have you tried searching for video clips?

why ask all this AFTER you already bought the product? It's not like what we say means anything since you're putting it on no matter what. What a waste...

You did soak them all in a penetrating oil, correct?

Make sure you did not strip them. If you did, just take it to an exhaust shop and they will take those bolts off for about $25 bucks or so. Save you a lot of time.

You gonna get a Bee's in a can sound just like 99% of everyone here. With Budget you will get Air through a paperbag sound.
