ATTENTION EVERYONE!
Everyone needs to remember - my car is not stock. I've taken the extra steps to make sure the car can inhale (intake) and exhale (cat-back) better. Unless you've got these two items, you may not experience the same gains. My baseline is 218 FWHP. For arguments sake, say my next dyno (with y-pipe) proves a 15HP gain, that doesn't mean that someone who is running a stock b-pipe, and stock rear section will also see a 12HP gain. They may see only a 5HP gain because there's still a choke point, being the rest of their exhaust, which is still at 2", where my y-pipe and entire exhaust will be 2.5".
You can turn the fire hydrant on all the way, but if your still using a garden hose, you're only going to get as much water as that garden hose will allow you to pass.

I should start asking for support to pay for the dyno's... It ain't cheap being a test monkey. That damn intake comparison cost me $80!

What do we have different that you've got 3 hp more then me - test pipe?
I've got pr upper tubing w/ apexi filter, rt cat, cattman cat-back, and I'm at 218.7, but with 236#'s tq.

Y-Pipe Status
Ok here is the status on the pipes:
Speed Addiction has said to successfully make these pipes so that everyone fits without a problem they need a car on hand. Obviously I cant do that, so are next plan is to create a jig. This jig will be a replica of the under section of our cars where the y-pipe will fit. As soon as the jig is done and pipes are tested from it they are ready to go. Sorry for the delay I know how frustrating it is. But it will be better this way trust me I am sure no one would like to recieve a pipe that doesn't fit.
