I like the way it looks a lot. I had just a tiny fitment problem, but that was it. I'm a happy customer.

I have a clip of someone with just the muffler only and then I have one of my exhaust which is really loud compared to the other one. My problem is I'm not quite sure how to get them on my website. Any suggestions how?

The fitment problem I had was that the pipe connecting to the B-pipe was hitting something and made a bang on right hand turns. Took to an exhaust shop and they fixed it for like 20 bux. Other than that I love it!

Oh and drone is when your car is done shifting and you're at cruising speed and you can still hear the exhaust. Its not always loud, but its just the exhaust note you hear all the time and it can get really annoying sometimes.

i have the cattman catback exhaust on my 2k2. it sounds very throaty and deep between 2000-2500 RPM, and after that the sound starts to fade away. you can just hear the intake after that. but when you go full throttle, you can't even hear the exhaust. just all intake from there. sorrie don't have a clip, but hope this makes sense tho.

Don't even bother throwing on an exhaust without starting in the other direction, head pipe (Y), then mid/B, then muffler. The cattman exhaust is quite nice and the new Ys are damn good, I sweatr by mine.

thanx for the info guys
i dont know how to get the sound on the page, i think if ur using cardomain, try to upload a sound file and see what happens, if not, just get like engelfire or geocities or somehting and just throw it on there and link to the sound file.

I want to do the catt,y, and b all at once but its a little costly... i was thinking i would most likely do the b with the exhaust but the y would have to wait cuz of the price, but why would u not recommend a cat-back with no aftermarket y and b?

The cat-back is the muffler and b/mid pipe. That alone frees up a lot of power. Especially the B-pipe cuz the stock one is really restrictive. If you dont want a loud exhaust you basically decide on either getting just a Y-pipe or no straight through muffler. You'll get more gains if you go with just the Y-pipe and no cat-back, but I like the loudness and the gains are good when you have the full stainless steel exhaust like my cattman is. But in the end its all up to you. Have fun.

so wait, is there more power output if I just get a Y and put it on with the stock muffler? Or The cattman Catback and the y like yours?

Thanx

You'll get more with both the Y and cat-back, but if you dont want a loud exhaust you'll still get a good increase in power with just the Y and the stock muffler.

The more 2.5" stainless steel exhaust parts you put on your car to replace the OEM piping, the more horsepower you get. Gains go this way IMO Y-pipe-->B-pipe-->Straight pipe-->muffler. If you do all this your car will be loud! I'm going to go and madke a video clip of my car's exhaust. If you want it email me and I'll send it to you.

i think it is out too, but the gains are very debatable. but they say its 10+ hp gains, just the ypipe itself. but not sure. ill just wait till others come out, or they can truly prove what gains it can have, and if its worth it.
