hey guys, i was woundering what the better choice would be, a straight pipe or a high-flow cat? I know the straight pipe is horrible for emmisions but ill just keep my stock cat and pop it on when needed. also I have a CAI, and a Y-pipe., so which one would work best with those two mods? Thanks for your help!

 

Personally I would just get a high flow cat (Since I care about the environment) , otherwise just go for straight pipe if you don't care and just want more HP and cheaper.

BTW, if you do decide to go with high flow cat, search for alternative then "Random Tech high flow cat" I havn't been hearing good things about them on .org

 

thanks man, anyone else have and opinion?

 

I don't think the gains of either of them are worth the money.

 

i have heard of 1 maybe 2 horsies coming out of them. not worth it, plus the pipe is illegal and you would have to change it every year to get pass emissions

 

not worth the trouble or money...................... or so i hear.. i've never had either

 

the straight pipe makes it sound better

 

Y and b pipe will give you the most.

The high flo cat and other mufflers dont do much.

 

where can I buy a b pipe?

 

Cattman is the best. He is listed in the vendor/ supplier section.
Good products and a good guy.

 

It is worth it to get the rear section (after B-pipe, aka muffler section) from Cattman as well? any better then the stock Calsonic muffler? Looks to be pretty much the same from the outside

 

The whole catback from the Cat is a beauty and a better tone. But from what I have seen, hardly any extra power. I will sacrifice quiet only if I am getting something for it. But that is just me. Some guys do it for the sound.
Not up to speed on the Calsonic. But Cattman is specifically a maxima guy.

 

I have the custommaxima.com straight pipe, no noticable gains, very little noise increase (I got the one with the resonator). Might be a little more burbly... sounds good anyways. If you're lookin for hp, get a cat-back, or just the b-pipe if you wanna keep noise down. OBX sells a pretty good cat-back from what i've heard, and is quite reasonably priced
