you can't get a greddy for $350, but my vote would be the y anyway.

Definitely y-pipe man.... I spent 350 on a used Evo and I wish I had gotten a Cattman Y now.... much more added hp...

Y-pipe first. I have seen to many with a y-pipe get the evo and say it's too loud for them and end up selling the evo. I love the sound of the evo/y-pipe combo but know I got the cattman headers coming.

Dayam... that will be kick@$$ set-up....

Is there any way to quantify how much louder the set-up will be going from just the Evo cat-back to the set-up with the Y and the cat-back? Twice as loud? 5 times as loud? 10 times? Sorry if its a stupid question...

I would say about 5 times louder is about right.

Thanks.... although I realize instead of asking questions like that, I should just go to a meet and hear it for myself....

Does it add to the "roar" of the Greddy or is it more of a "rumble" from the front of the car? Okay... sorry, that was another thing I could just go hear for myself...

I should probably mention that I first had just a Magnaflow muffler. After installing the y-pipe and cat-back, the exhaust was about 5 times louder. Yours probably won't be 5 times louder, but will definitely be noticably louder than before.

I'm glad I opted for the Y-pipe over the Greddy Evo.
