take it from me i did a ton of research and thought it would be fine to put one of the cheaper pipes (warpspeed) on the car. first the quality is just not there. actually its horrible. secondly you have to remove the cross memeber from the undercarriage of the car. its there for a reason.. the flex section was tiny and ended up leaking. and lastly it hung so low to the ground if my car was lowered i know for sure this thing would be grounding out. i then got so fed up with it that i bought the cattman y pipe. yes i did have to relocate the O2 sensor but even with that this y pipe was built so nice the welds are beautiful and the fitment its great there is a hanger that you can use to hold it up and the second you take it out of the box you know its much much better then the other cheaper knockoff. its just my 2 cents but trust me buy the cattman pipe i know its more money but you dont want to be like me spending the money twice

maybe someone needs to contact Dallas at Warpspeed and volunteer their car for a new y-pipe design. It seems like the 5th gens and some 4th gens have the biggest problems with their stuff. 3rd gen guy's don't seem to have any problems with Warpspeed. just my .02!

so they make a fed or cali spec catback exhaust, im guessing they will do the same to the ypipe soon too.

I just got a Cattman Y-Pipe from SWA. They ask if you are a fed spec or a calli spec. The cali spec is very different from the fed spec, requires the removal of a pre cat and has O2 bung on it. I'm not sure what is meant by relocating the O2 sensor. I hope to install mine this week end if I can get the car high enough to work under it and can get the bolts off.

cattman is made of stainless steel (www.cattman.com)
budget is made of stainless steel (www.budgetexhaust.com/)
stillen is made of some sort of steel, but ceramic coated (www.southwestautoworks.com) It comes with a second piece, extended for maxima with federal emissions.
warpspeed is made of aluminized steel (www.warpspeedperformance.com)

i agree with the rest of the guys,, i also went with a warpspeed y and it compliments the berk. i hit top end with the quickness, and it gives a very suddle exhaust note.
