Hey guys do both of these y-pipes exhibit the "Bees in a can" sound? Which one do yall prefer and why? Any problems with the O2 sensors fitting into the y-pipe? How's the quality of each pipe? Do both pipes increase the interior noise level significantly? Thanks in advance.

Hey guy,

I put a Cattman SS pipe in mine. The quality is excellent. There is a *little* more noise but it is not bad. Believe me I would have taken it off -- I want a respectably quiet car. There is a tiny bit of putt-putt when I'm at like lower speeds in the city.. I notice it especially if my windows are open .. it kindof echos off the cars and walls as I drive by.. but just a little.

Also... when I'm in reverse for some reason there's a bit of additional noise inside. Overall, it does not add much to the noise of the car.

When you punch the gas, though, in combination with the POP-intake there is a definite GROWL to the engine that was not there stock -- but it's a nice manly growl not a ricey sound.

Later,
/aac
