Y-pipe power increase???
Finally installed the Y-pipe I got form Warpspeed group deal months ago yesterday. The only other mod I have is the CAI. My question is where is the power increase I was supposed to get. Install went fine and there are no CEL's. All the talk about best bang for the buck mod being the Y-pipe and except for a very minimal lower rpm difference I don't see the gain. Just wondering if I was the only one with this...

Should you decide to keep the y, get a hi flow cat and a b too. A y by itself isn't supposed to make that big of a difference.

you don't need to reset squat. It will adjust itself over time. sigh

and i disagree..the y does make a diffirence. its the single best mod that can be done to a 3.0 5th gen. granted an intake and catback would add to it..but by itself, it still improves performance ALOT

^^Or a faulty coil-pack or a combination of both. You should be able to feel the Y-pipe, if not right away, a couple miles down the road. The gains should be everywhere in the rev range, more so after VI switchover.
