anyone ever dyno a WSP Y???
I was just wondering if anyone ever dynoed and saw actual HP gains from the Warpspeed Y-pipe. I've seen dynos of a Cattman and know that the y-pipe provided decent gains, especially on a 3.0, but havent seen anything for WSP. I've been hesitant to buy anything from "ebay brands" since I read luxbonds thread about the ebay headers. The fact that WSP pretty much sells everyhting on ebay has me kinda skeptical, so Id rather pay extra and buy Cattmans Y for the proven gains. Any comments appreciated, thanks.

Forgive me, I've been reading as much as I can, but most of this stuff is still very new to me.

I'm trying to map out future upgrades for the car, and just want to make sure I do it as best as possible. I'm probably going to save up all the $$ for headers, full exhaust, and intake and get it all done at once. I'm very inexperienced in terms of cars under the hood, but thank god for this site, I'm soaking up info like a sponge....and trying to make sense of it all!

no dyno is needed it is proven that when u remove any restrictions on your exhaust like bends or cats your car will be subject to more horsepower, but also this power can be lost in output to the wheels, Plus all maximas dont run the same and don't perform the same You cant go by another's dyno and think that your car will do the same numbers in no means

because on the 5.5gen the precats are in the exhaust manifolds (headers) not the y-pipe, like the 5th gen. so even if you get a y-pipe you still have precats, which are the biggest reason for power loss.
The only way to eliminate them is with a header system. I have the HotShot headers on my 00' and they are great, just dont use the manifold and Cat gaskets they provide, they are crappy paper. On the flip side the manifold to y-pipe gaskets are copper and work great.
PS- Just incase you did not know, headers eliminate th stock y-pipe, they are one system all the way back to the main cat. In other words, HS headers are manifolds and y-pipe.

Thanks for the PS, because I didn't know that. Makes alot more sense now.
