after a year ive finally found the problem!!!
i took my y pipe down today and have a 1/2 inch hole where the flex section is... and i'm NOT exagerating. i've never seen anything like this in my life. i dont even think i could get my pinky finger through it. thats pretty sad that such a "reliable" product could do something like this. (cattman) anyway, i'm just glad that i found the problem. i'm probably just gonna take it to a muffler shop this week and let them fix it and make me a b-pipe while its there. thanks to everyone for helping me find my problem.

Actually I'm surprised it took you this long to have a look at the ypipe since many people with the Cattman ypipe had a similar problem with the flex section. Your car should much faster now. JAY25 had a similar problem with his SC Maxima.

Without seeing pictures of the hole, it is impossible to tell if this hole is due to mfg defect or something like road hazard... Any pics?

The reason why it is a defect and no other y-pipe manufacturer has this problem is because Cattman was the first to pioneer that project. Then all these other y-pipe manufacturers took his y-pipe and based theirs off of his, perfecting every little thing and trying different flex sections. Hence why warpedspeed, budget, and stillen have had no problems so far....
But anyways, glad you found your problem. I told you it could have been that as well a while back too.....

My Y is like 6 yrs old, w/ 100K miles of wear and tear, and has been welded 5 times for cracks and had the flex fixed once.
Of course I'm relentless w/ my car. Those that baby their's might not ever have problems.
