Need input on choosing Y-pipe.

I have a 2000 and am looking to get a Y-pipe. I've noticed that CustomMaxima.com has a cheap one for $200 and the Cattman for $350. Anyone have any experience with the cheaper one? Where can I find the Cattman pipe cheaper? Thanks.

I have a Cattman Y on my 2k1 since almost 3 years and never had a single problem, also it's made of stainless steel. it's a very good quality product and the flex joint is still A1, I think budget is good too, but if your looking for the best Cattman sound the way to go.

Cheers

Thanks for the info. I do want the Cattman Y-pipe but can't really find it cheaper than $350. Don't want to spend close to a grand on the headers. And I think the headers are only for 2K2-2K3.

if i were to buy a y-pipe for a 2k, i'd get a budget. there is no reason to spend more money.

the header group deal is for 695 which may be lots more than you would wanna spend, i certainly understand that. they are for 95-03 model maximas. good luck with ypipe search.
