I've bought both for my 4th gen and 5th gen from Cattman. I think the gains will be very close, but the cattman SS pipe will last longer, look like new longer, and is made better I think. Plus it doesn't make any funny noises like a hear about the Stillen pipe.

They have aprox the same gains. but the new Stillen

unit is made from Ceramic material, so they are making them better. I was under the inpression that the Y-pipe was benificial for top end, and not low end, and actually with opening up the exhaust you usually lose low end. (from my experience)
