Why do you want our opinions if you've already decided to order it? Form you own.

everyone seems to LOVE their y pipe. i dont have one yet, but that will probably be my first performance mod when i get to it. so far i'm working on the looks of my car first.

this is a bit off topic but wouldn't a y-pipe kill your warranty?

Think of a warranty like this. If you buy an entire audio system, let's say Yamaha and add a sony cd player, Yamaha won't cover your Sony cd player under their warranty

Guess again, GreenMaxima. I've got a Cattman Y-pipe and I just had the rear O2 sensor replaced under warranty. Guess where the rear O2 sensor mounts in a Cali-spec 2K Maxima?

Once again, relationships are everything. If you've got a good one with your dealership's service department, you don't need to worry about them voiding your warranty. If you don't, . . .

i have a y pipe,
and a b pipe

warpspeed on my 2k2, love it, hate the clunking......
if u have/gonna get an aftermarket muffler, make sure to get a b with a resonator


oh ya, almst no point in changing the Y if u dont change the B, the B has some phucking ugly ase crush bends! on bend if nore than half way into the pipe, so from 2.25 ur dotn to 1 inch of flow....

enjoy...

How much of a HP gain are the combo really? I was looking at the stainless steel ones and that would push this mod up to about $600...is it really worth it?

Also, look around...most people said they were able to fix the clunking.

I wouldn't waste your money on the stainless steal B pipe. The aluminized steel has a 4 year rust through warranty. If it rusts through, you get a new one. If you keep your car more than 4 years, you can buy another one from WSP and it'll still be cheaper than the competition.

I have a full exhaust on my 2k2 (y to rear) and I love it..good sound, plus it seems to add HP (just from driving not a dyno test). Plus it really helps under the juice..so I think you will be happy with your investment.

For now i ordered only a y-pipe... and i will buy a b-pipe (SS) from the budget exhaust... about $170 this is a good price!!! I dont want a b-pipe from WSP beacause they dont have SS b-pipe... I live in CT (snow)

Sound is not a much over stock as far as the exhaust goes (frankencar is loud though). I have a Warpspeed high flow cat and B pipe and a Stillen rear section. I am not saying it isn't louder, but I don't sound like a race car either.
