2k2+ y-pipe and b-pipe
I've been holding off buying the warpspeed y-pipe due to fitting issues that people seem to be having with them on their 2k2+ cars. Anyone have a good experience??? I spoke with Cattman and they said they're in the dyno stage of their y-pipe and may have it out soon (same story for the past 6 months).
So, questions: Is the warpspeed y-pipe worth the hassle?
If I buy a b-pipe should I get the resonator?
Anyone have reliable dyno's after the install?

All I had to do is remove the one support bracket. I have had no fitment issues or problems with the WSP Y and B. They fit great. With both installed, I only gained 5hp. I would definately get the B with a resonator. It doesn't give you any hp advantage to get it without the res and it'll be quieter.

Right now there isn't a Y-pipe on the market that does anything for the car. The WS has unequal lengh runners and has even been shown to hurt performance on some cars. Sounds like a waste of money to me.
After ****ing with my WS B for a while the only good thing about it is the mandrel bends. The resonator that comes with it isn't good enough by its self when used with a free flowing muffler. Many here recomended that I go with a 18-22" resonator. What I ended up doing is having the WS resonator moved forward toward the cat and having a 12" glass pack resonator added behind it. This did the trick, nice deep tone and no drone. You could have a good muffler shop make a B and do all this work for you and save some dough.
To get the benifits of mandrel bends you would need to have it done in the whole system, that means from the muffler section to the B also. The only way I know of at this time to get that done is with the Stillen muffler. So the cheapest way to do this is to get the WS B with no Res and get the Stillen muffler. Then have your shop add an 18" res to the B. From my research I have found a hollow resonator is better than a glass packed one at keeping power loss to a min. This is the ideal setup to do while waiting for headers. You may even be able to get a good price from Stillen on the B when you get the muffler call and ask.
