y-pipe question

Will there be any noticable acceleration increases for 0-60 and 1/4? How much? also, with stock exaust, will the car sound like a ricer?

I would say yes.... since you already have an intake, the y-pipe will help out quite a bit. As for sound, the y-pipe will not add a significant amount of noise at all. It will give your exhaust note a little more throatiness. No way will you sound bad. You can pretty much mod everything up to the muffler and still have the exhaust relatively quiet....

Take it from me, I have a y-pipe, exhaust, CAI and I still cant beat a 5spd!!! THis mod is meant for high end power. Not 0-60....
If you want a better launch, upgrade your tranny and I don't mean just the VB...
