Y-Pipe

before anyone gets angry, yes I did read up on the past Y-pipe posts, so here goes.

Would like to mod my car slightly, but in case I love the 2k2 6 spd, I do not want to get crazy. I currently have the K&N drop in, Synthetic motor oil, and redline gear oil(Y2KevSE thanks for the instructions). Should my next step be the Y-pipe, and if so, should I go with the Stillen pipe? I am interested in quality and I am interested in pulling my parts if I trade in, hell I even saved my old air filter, if I trade in on a 2k2 6 spd, I'm pulling my K&N and dropping the dirty filter back in.

The Y-Pipe is the best MOD for the money outside a supercharger in my opinion. Depending on your local weather you may want to go with either the stainless steel Cattman Y-Pipe or the ceramic coated Stillen Y-Pipe. Both pipes will run about $350 - $400. The Cattman will hold up to harsh winters in northern regions b/c of it S/S design. I have the Stillen and it works for me in FL since I don't have to worry about snow or road salts. Hope this helps.

Re: Y-Pipe

Nice improvement on the top-end.
But, it comes with a noisey price.
Otherwise, I think you'll like it.

get the y-pipe.... Cattman or Stillen will be fine. If you live in harsh climates, get the Cattman pipe, or else go with the Stillen pipe.

check one of the banners up top. You may find one at a discount.

Any Y-pipe you can take off before you sell your car.
