For Those With Y Pipes . . .

How long did it take you to notice the full horsepower gain from the y pipe?
Did you reset the ECU?

As soon as I turned out of the exhaust install place and hit it..

I can't speak for your car since it's a 5th gen, and I drive a 5.5th gen, but I felt the gain on the top end mainly, and moreso after 4K rpm.

The sound is a bit muted with oem exhaust which is what I was looking for, but by replacing the bpipe you can get even more gains. I'm looking to do this next to complement the intake and ypipe.

As soon as I mashed on the gas pedal after install. The engine is much smoother through the RPM range. I'd recommend a B-pipe in addition to the y-pipe... my .02
