CATTMAN OR STILLEN y - pipe???

Im getting a y - pipe and im stuck between getting Cattaman or Stillen's y pipe......i live in california so i really wont have to worry about rust probs, but i heard stillens has a "bees in a can " sound to it...is that an annoying sound or is it like the sound of a CAI at idle....any different performance gains?? THANKS IN ADVANCE

I DID ALL THE RESEARCH I COULD DO!!!!! i know all about the products but im asking for your guy's personal opinions.....im leaning towards the cattman just beacuse im not sure if i like the sound of the BEE's Thing...but if it doesnt sound that bad...then...i guess id rather go with the quality of stillen...so...

Personally I like quality parts.... kinda like the difference between a MAX and an accord... u can buy one car and think ur pimp or buy the other and Live like a Pimp...I went with Stillen.. the noticable difference is when ur at high RPM's it sounds like a hissing noise.... very nice.....

I have no bees in the can sound at all with my stillen. Personally i would go with the stillen if i were you, the only advantage the cattmann has is its made of SS but you live in cali and dont need that. Also my bro had a cattman and had to send it back b/c the flex section was leaking......Stillen y pipes are $340 at avalonracing.net.

I dont like the cattman, I have it. I would have gotten the warpspeed pipe. I get a hissing sound, plus when my car was automatic I had a nastly idle. With 5spd its not bad, just noisy. I still think its a rip off

hey guys what's up i had the first stillen 1 piece y-pipe then i sold that to get the 2 piece universal fit y-pipe and i cracked it going over a speed bump well both of them both maid a buzz sound i was running a strait pipe without CAT going threw my 3inch y-pipe back to a hks hyper 3inch muffler so im still undecided if i should go back with stillen or get the cattman i was talking to cheston and he said he would get the cattman because it has no buzz and it's SSteel i never heard a cattman or warp speed but if u have a flex pipe no matter what it will buzz .
