Just get exhaust wrap and wrap your Y-Pipe and exhaust, helps somewhat, but you'll get that bit of "rasp" when u let go of the throttle at high rpms.

Hey Irvine78, did you replace the resonator with some custom mendrel pipe ? Since I am about to install a Cattman Y-Pipe ( on the way ) and a new Muffler should I get rid of the resonator and replace it with some custom mendrel pipe, what do you think of that set-up ?
Thanks for help.

Time to do it again and get the lil black book out.
-I just need to evaluate something, dear

cattman y->stock cat->custom b-pipe (no res)->stock muffler
Are you selling your b-pipe?

Nice rumble, exhaust seems a bit higher toned, but still somewhat throaty.

I have a cattman y, stock cat, stock res.. stock muffler. In your opinion (performance wise) is it worth it to install an RT cat and custom b-pipe (one or both?)

no shop will do it for you since it is illegal. Take a hammer and a long screwdriver. Stick the scredriver in the cat against the material inside and start whacking it away.
