Y-pipe owners, step in.

Here is a link for a picture of a Y-pipe. Can someone please tell me who the manufacturer of this Y-pipe is?

Tough to say but looking at the flex section it looks like a Warpspeed y-pipe.
I have the Cattman which has a larger flex section.

Haven't seen any other B-pipes, but it looks very much like the Warpspeed I have now (for the 2000)...

Although you appear to have the 2002, and I thought the Y-pipe looked slightly different. Any other suggestions?

i have had both the warpspeed and now the cattman and that isnt either one of them but i also have an 03 so that might be it...it looks much closer to the quality of the warpspeed the cattman pipe is extreamly nice

Oh by the way my car is a 2000 fed spec. I'm asking this because I bought this from a fellow .Org member and he claimed it was a Cattman generation 2 pipe. Looking at the welds on it I really don't think that this is a Cattman. I just want to make sure of what pipe this is because I'm thinking of getting rid of it because the noise is way too loud.

The flex section is about 3-4 inches long. And there was no hanger but everything went together pretty easily. I really don't think that this is even a Cattman.
Everyone with a Cattman Gen. 2 Y-pipe. After installation did it make the sound a lot louder, a little deeper and it even kind of sounds like bees in a can? It really sounds like a Honda with the Cat missing.

mine does very much like this one (for 2000). so that's not warpspeed.


and whoever still b*tches about WSP pipes that are NOT eating your money, GO AND SPEND YOUR DAMN MONEY ON A PIECE OF PIPE THAT'S MORE THAN 2x MORE EXPENSIVE. DO IT! and get lost
