I have a budget and it works great!!! Well worth the money! The cattman y-pipe is very cool as well but its expensive.

they should provide the same amount of power because they all have the same diameter.

I have stillen.

Get the Cattman. It's true that it's expensive, but you can feel the difference. You get what you pay for!

I have the Cattman and I like it. The fit and quality were great. I also have a Frankencar intake. Before the y-pipe, I ran 16.01 @ 88.01 mph. After the y-pipe was installed, I ran 15.905 @ 86.59 mph. Not much difference, but I like the sound and I can actually feel the difference midrange. I'm auto and I did no weight reduction.

Get the Cattman, it may cost more but its worth it. It fit with no trouble and looks good. The combination of the y-pipe and an intake has a real nice sound and there is a noticable difference while driving.

I have the Stillen Y pipe. I love every bit of the way it sounds.(Not to LOud) PLus you can feel the power in the mid range... Stillen Differs from the other pipes, because its ceramic coated which seals the heat inside and better for emmissions.

i've had good experience with budget when i had my 4th gen, and have heard plenty of good things about cattman. a cattman y pipe is my next mod for my 5.5 gen, unfortunately i missed out on the recent group deal he just had.

The Cattman is also stainless steel, which you will need in the northeast. I've got a Cattman and couldn't be happier with the sound and performance gains.

diffirence over stock? or over another y-pipe?

all y-pipes give the same performance gains. only diffirence is ease of install and what its made from.

i have the warpspeed and love it. no problems in 6 months its been on.

Who gives a d@mn what it looks like because you can't see it. The Budget Y-pipe is also stainless steel and almost too pretty to put on. I've only had mine for 2 weeks and quite like it. I can't imagine what benefit the Cattman will provide over the Budget other than lightening your wallet!

I ordered the HotShot Headers/Y Pipe from Southwestautoworks for a great price. Along with that I got the underdrive pulley and Place Racing CAI.
