Y Pipe Install?
Hello all..this is my first post so bare with me...I have a 00 SE I have upgraded with an Injen COI and now I am thinking about adding a Warpspeed Y pipe and cat converter. I would like to know any feedback on this installation re: performance improvements etc., plus recommendations if there are any. I do not want a "loud" car so no ricer stuff for me. I have enjoyed reading the info out there from you all, hopefully I can add something to the group in the future. Thanks Tigger

I have a 2000 SE 5 speed (Cali-spec) and installed a Stillen Y-Pipe; the rest of the exhaust is stock. Fit was perfect and the only trick was to losen the bolts on the top of the front pre-cat to fit the pipe in place. The rear pre-cat is not used as it is on the old y-pipe.
The sound increase is a slightly deeper tone at idle and about 10-15 % more cabin noise while driving around town, but not a problem, not ricy. At 70mph the road and wind noise are louder than any exhaust noise increase. As for a performance increase, I noticed that from 4k-6k the engine pulls a little better than the stock y-pipe as the stock y-pipe seemed to choke the engine above 4k and limit performance. The performance increase was slight, but if you have a fed spec you might see a higher performance gain as the second precat is removed.

.....check other places.
