Y-pipe/cat benefits?

Anybody know any aftermarket y-pipe statistics (i.e. - sound, hp, etc.)? How bout a high-flow cat in conjunction with the y-pipe or even seperately? Anybody have any inputs?

Thanks

I think a y-pipe can add around 10-15whp...but i could be wrong so don't quote me. As far as noise it should just be a little louder than stock.

y pipe is best if you have a intake..
with intake 15-18hp
w/out intake 10-15

no sound at crusing speeds... nice rumble when u floor it..
high flow cat dont do jack...
stock cat is fine
and a straight pipe dont do anything either ..

however y pipe does make your muffler sound like the 350z a little
