Warpspeed exhuast?

I want to purchase an exhaust. I'm looking at getting the warpspeed y-pipe and b-pipe for my 2k2. I want to keep the stock exhaust for now. Is this a good combo? Anybody have the warpspeed exhuast? Will i notice a good increase in HP? Thanxz in advance!!

Or what about Budget? I don't know if they make one for the 2k2, but i had one on my 97 max, and it worked pretty well

Crap crap crap crap crap.....did I get my point across....warpped design, PUN INTENDED ! I blew 2+ sensors with it, and it fit like a.s.s. ! I had to sell it. I hear the Cattman is a real good design. Im personally going to spend my money on Hotshot headers, which come with a Y pipe.

The Hotshot headers are exactly why my cattman y is still sitting on my floor

I have the WSP y pipe and b pipe and haven't had a problem to date for around 15k. The fittment is OK but could be better. The price is outstanding. Its your call on what too do but there is no problems with my WSP B pipe. The y pipe design could be a little better as far as 02 sensor bung positioning but I guess I have been lucky to not have any problems.

I would say the same thing.

hmmmmm. All I've heard about the WS Y-pipe were the fitment issues that seem like there are ways to work around it. I read a review of this pipe somewhere that said that there were gains. How many people have had blown sensors?

Yo JP - Good to see you finally got the 3.5 you were looking for. Did you get 6sp or auto? I remember talking to you about it a few months ago at Capitol.

I decided to keep mine for a least another year maybe two. In the meantime, I bought the Cattman catback exhaust that I'll install this weekend. I also have a Cattman Y and RT cat on order. I went this route because I want to keep it legal. IIRC, the hotshot headers delete the pre-cats. Can't wait to get back to the track.

Anyway, congrats.

You have a 2k-2k1 pipe, not the 2k2-2k3. The quality went down hill.

I had the same fitment issues as most did, but simply removing or lowering the brace will fix all fitment problems. I've had them on the car for 18,000 miles with no problems whatsoever.

Thanxz again for the input everyone. I've decided to order cattman y and b pipe. Hopefully tomorrow. If not i'll order the rest of my suspension.
Ripper: Yeah man, i'm your twin now, same color and all. Yours is still alot cleaner than mine.
Hopefully i will see you at MIR on the 7th of march.
Redmax: Well, i know your monster will own me on the 7th. I might need your help with my suspension if i get it.
Will i notice gains if i just get the cattman y-pipe?

The gains will show at the track, but as far as feeling the power it won't be anything spectacular, but its there.
