Best y pipe for VQ35?

I'm planning on putting a y pipe on the max. What's the best? What do you guys have and what do you think of it?

As far as I'm concerned, Cattman is the only choice.

Cattman all the way and you won't have fitting issues like the rest of them. You may pay a little bit more $$, but it's worth it.

CORRECTION: Cattman does have fittment issues.

You need to trim 1 bolt for it to fit.

Since I have the Warpseed y-pipe, I can honestly tell you to buy the Cattman!

Is the sound of the exhaust louder?

Cattman. I have a Warpspeed. While I had the same fitment issues as the others, it's easy to correct. Cattman's design is better.

Shaving down one bolt 1/4" isn't that bad compared to something that doesn't fit that well. But I can't personally cut down WS, but that's just what I've heard. Cattman I think is $320 and the WP is $200. I personally wouldn't buy the WS. Just my .02

I never shaved mine down, I just used 3 washers

The best y-pipe for your car is the one that comes with the hotshot headers...
