Well, I finally had them installed today at a muffler shop ( glad I did not try it at home ). Couple of things wrong with the pipes. The Y-pipe was missing the top hanger and the B-pipe was about 6" too short after the cat. The muffler shop tacked on a new hanger and increased the length of the pipe so it would fit appopriately.

On the drive home, I noticed the exhaust had more of a growl to it, but was not loud ( B-pipe included a new resonator ). I also got on it once and rev'd it a few times and I had no banging. From a performance perspective, I have no idea since my first concern was that there was no banging. I may have an opinion later on after the ECU adjusts (if required) and I've had time to play around with it.

So far, so good.....

 

nice.. how much was install?

 

Took an hour and a half for the install. They did not charge me for parts so labor came to appx $78 bux.... Labor rates sure have gone up, but it was worth having it done right instead of doing it myself and not having the exhaust fit the first time.

 

78 sounds kinda high.. but im more of DIY kind of guy..
Do you feel a big difference yet? does it pull harder?

 

i am also interested in the gain that the Y pipe provides....cuz i've heard that Y doesn't give too much of a gain to 02's

 

still got a stock muffler?

 

See I don't think about b-pipe out there fits right. My budget b-pide needed another hanger welded on to keep it from banging. I paid $100 to have my b-pipe, PT1011 installed(removed now), and a new rear section custom bent.

 

considering extending the pipe 6 inches and adding a hanger, 78 is not bad. Im having leaks all over

 

Yes, I still have stock cat and muffler. Mine is not leaking anywhere. They did a great job with it.

I purchased the pipes prior to anyone dyno testing them. Since I would take a loss selling them at this point, I went ahead and had them installed since I had time. The true test will be my next racing adventure (Sept 6th). I may also have it dyno tested at that time, but I may have an intake on by then and I will definately have a UDP on.

 

Warpspeed B pipe is the biggest piece of **** ever made ! Just ask any Nissan Tech that looks at it !

 

Kloogy, don't **** on my pipe!!!

Yeah, I should have saved the bux and had the muffler shop build it. At least it would have fit without having to be modified

 

I had one already. Im speaking from experience .

 

u took the B off too giovani?

Too bad I killed my rear section, cant put it back on w/o getting that new pipe. I really like how my car was before I touched my exhaust.

I just want a muffler now, a simple quiet one

 

I'm really happy with my budget b-pipe w/resonator. Wasn't at first, but after I got the other hanger installed to quit the banging I was happy. Why not just come some Magnaflow tips welded onto the stock muffler. I don't know exactly how free flowing the stock muff is, but that's what I did. You also I'm not boosted w/ NOS so I don't know what I'm talking about.

 

Finally got em installed Matt...

I'm anxious to see what they sound/feel like. Hopefully I can make it on the 6th. I gotta get my *** to school and get everything straightened out before I'm 100% sure.

 

The sound is definately better at WOT. My car only dynoed 5 or 6hp and 7tq with both the Y and B installed. I'm an auto so I would think the sticks would give a couple more. Butt dyno said it gave a few.

 

B pipe isnt too bad.
They say the exhaust is pretty high flow, but I want some sound.

 

It definately sounds deeper above 3k rpms when your getting on it. It's still pretty quiet during normal driving.
