Y-pipe & B-Pipe questions
I've searched but have not found the answers I was looking for. Can anyone help me with these:
1) What is the stock exhaust made out of? (Aluminized or Stainless Steel)
2) Even though the Warpspeed pipe comes in SS, they say that it will discolor due to the heat. Is it worth it so you don’t have to worry about rust?
3) Have the fitment issues been resolved? Some say yes, others say no?
4) Does anyone have sound clips on what the resonated and non-resonated B-pipes from Warpspeed sound like on a stock muffler? They told me that a non-resonated isn’t too loud on a stock muffler but a MUST on an aftermarket muffler.
5) I’ve heard people throwing around numbers like 20 HP with this combo, what gains (or losses in one thread) are people really getting?
6) Is Cattman really better for the B-pipe?
Thanks much, once I found out that I can still pass emissions on my 2k3 (because pre-cats aren’t removed) and it’s a bolt on mod I’m really interested in getting them!

2- You live where it rains or snows? if yes get the SS one( discoloring doesnt mean anything unless you like to look under your car everyday?)
3-Flex section Yes, but some complain about a clunking noise...
4- stock bpipe or aftermarket bpipe with stock muffler with or without a resonator will sound the same.
5- thats rice boy hp numbers
6- they all do the same, depends what material you want

BTW dun feel so bad, just make sure your getting what you want the first time around at a good price.
I had 5 different CATBACKS on my car ever since i had it. Talk about a waste of money huh?
