Y-Pipe Music.

Hey Guys...Im going through with getting the Budget Ypipe for my Car. some questions.

1. If installed properly, will it make the "bee's in can sound"?
2. Even if installed properly, can the sound still become present at a later date?
3. Can you really feel the difference in power?
4. How much louder then stock? Will my wife Know I have done something?

I have a budget y and it work's as intended.About the noise i cannot tell you as i had the b-pipe and hi-flo cat installed on the same day which might influence my opinion on noise.

I do have some resonance at 2k-2.5k rpm at 3k, you can hear the y-pipe clearly and at 5.5k rpm it is kinda whistling/hissing.

Hissing is normal, I hear that....Im more concerned about raw engine exhaust sound, like changing your muffler or something.

A lot of people who have install the Y-Pipe, well Cattman anyways have got the Bees in a can. When I first had the install it was pretty noticable. But I guess after the breakin period it's a lot less loud.
