Y-Pipe has proven its worthiness. Raced a 5th Gen.
#1
At the street races the other night. A black 5G Max, 5spd, 17" rims, GXE with tape over the rear lamps to make it look like the SE Taillamps, and slightly lowered, otherwise stock for performance mods...against me in my 18" equipped, 5spd, GXE, Y-pipe, removed resonator, and K&N drop-in...and the ALL important OSCAI.
I got him on the launch and was half a car length ahead. Second gear, walked away from him, third... it was all over. The upper RPMs really pulled hard compared to his Max (which it should)...So now I'm kinda happy I got the y-pipe...i probably only won cause of the OSCAI though...

Stillen y-pipe. No bees. it sounds pretty nice actually. Cold idle sounds pretty throaty and has a nice growl. Warm idle, it's hardly noticable. Sweep past 3000rpm to redline, it get this nice almost Ferrari 355 sound...quite nice!
OSCAI POWER!

Really though, it would be nice to see my "twin" order up a Y-pipe. It is by far the biggest performance pop per dollar on my car. If you'd like to see dyno results, mine are at:

BTW, I also added pics of my Max at:

welcome to the board I would suggest going through the sticky threads up at the top of the forum, especially the FAQ and using the search feature. If you have any questions though, feel free to ask. BTW, the OSCAI is a do-it-yourself cold air intake.
