I got the *Y* installed on the April 12th and I streched its legs tonight and I unleashed the bees in the can and man those are some powerfull bees at that. The car pulled hard @4k-6K RPMS and I beleive if the rev limiter was removed it would probably pull even harder.
But anyway, is there a fix for the bees sound or should I say a hissing rattle.

Ummm...it took you TWO WEEKS to actually stretch it's legs?
Jeeeeeez...you got some self-control!
I'm guessing you bought the Stillen Y....
cuz my Cattman doesnt have that sound at all....
I dont think there's a fix for it.

Here's what I'd try first. Crawl under your car and loosen the four bolts holding in your main catalytic converter. Then rock the catalytic converter back and forth for a little while. I think the bees-in-a-can sound is coming from the flex section on your new y-pipe. If there is some stress in your y-pipe (like the engine trying to turn it one way and the cat turning it the other way) I think it would be more likely to make this sound.
When I installed my pipe, I had maybe four or five bees in my can (thank goodness it wasn't a whole swarm). After doing this I only have one or two left, which are probably there to stay.
