i dont know the difference between y pipe and B pipe
and where it goes ... someone told me that buy the pipe cause
it gives me the most horsepower... whatelse can i do to make it go
faster (more hp) without adding supercharger or turbo or nos ?
i got intake and an aerospeed exhaust... but i guess i should change the exhaust to a bolt on..
ok thanx

oh yeah i have an automatic 97 GLE

 

You should do the Y pipe. Its the best hp gainer. If you do the B pipe, get ready for some extra sound.

 

if you can do both.. do both.. if not.. do y pipe before b pipe

 

I agree..

wait....
ok.. you can do both?
at the same time ?
arent they two of the same parts in different like they both go same place but they do same thing too but one makes like i dont know
i thoguht they were same
oh
anyone know any good brands and prices?

 

The Y-pipe is a downpipe off of your headers. The B-pipe come after the catalytic converter and connects to your muffler. If you are getting a cat-back exhaust system you will not need the B-pipe, but if you want just a muffler it will definitlely help.

i think stillen and courtesy nissan sell b pipes.. courtesy nissan's has a resonator so its not as much power as the stillen .. "so they say" .. Cyrus already gave you the diagram.. but yeah.. lots of people here have both.. great gains..

stillen's b pipe i think is $200 .. not sure..
courtesy is cheaper..

y pipes..

you have 4 choices..

budget exhaust.. best price.. no complaints so far
warpspeed.. next best price.. earlier complains on build quality.. one member is myself..
cattman.. pipe i have now.. great pipe.. great gains.. holds torque and horspower longer than warpspeed.. most expensive.. but you get what you pay for..
stillen.. great pipe.. just that its made of aluminum and it won't last as long as Stainless Steel.. however i hear aluminum last 10 years.. but are you going to have the car for 10 years?

 

where do i get budget exhaust from? when you say budget exhaust its a y pipe correct? how much is it?

 

yup they sell y pipes.. and now exhaust too..

Look under "Mods" and then "Exhaust"...it spells out the difference in the parts.
