I know it's an on-going topic, and I'm only looking for a quick answer.

I'm about to order the Y-Pipe. Which one would you buy at this moment in time? (I know about the flex-section issues.)

Thanks.

(BTW, '00 SE 5-Spd)

 

well since even the most expensive y-pipe mfg's are having flex-section issues, y not just spend like $195 shipped for the "Budget y-pipe"..

 

warpspeed has their ypipe out already?

 

nope, everyonce in a while i hear in a couple weeks, but that was like a month ago

 

ive got the cattman for my 2k1. i took mine off two days ago after it being on for about 4 months and the flex section if fine. theres no crumbling and i love it.

 

Same thing here. I've been asking for over a month and have made it clear to Dallas that I'm ready to order one of his pipes to compare the fitment and flex section to Cattman's, but nothing yet.

 

I've been looking for an answer to the y-pipe question myself. I was going to get cattman, but then started hearing about the flex problems. I'm thinking stillen is the answer. I'll take the hisssss over power loss due to the pipe falling apart any day. At least we know the stillen one will work. Right? Any flex problems with stillen yet?

 

Order one from budget exhuast here in toronto Canada. No issues. Its $250 Canadian if you want on the Group Deal.

 

How much is that in US? and would the performance be the same as other y-pipes?

 

Divide $250 by 1.62....performance is teh same of not better. These guys do alot of maximas.

 

Ithought they have only the 4th gen. stuff.

 

Last week I spoke to Dallas over at WarpSpeed. Supposedly, he is getting in a 2002 next week to start on the prelim work for the Y pipe and B pipes. As far as Stillen goes, they just finished their Altima and now they will focus their attention on the MAX 2002. I am guessing sometime in May we'll get something out of one or the other. I think that I am going to with WarpSpeed myself.

 

2 of us have ordered from Budget, and the other guy has it installed. Im next. Give them a call.

 

Damn. Thats cheap. Where can I contact them at.

 

is the budget y-pipe also a 3" and those of you that have it do you feel a noticeable power gain? also was it hard to put on?

 

And is the Budget Y-Pipe quieter then the others... and would it fit a 2K2

 

What happened to the '00-'01??? Did he mention that?

 

Guys, I honestly dont have all the details. Its either 2.5 or 3. Originally, these guys had a bee can affect, but that was corrected a long time ago. Apparently, installation is the key to a quiet YPIPE.

There is a link to all your questions in the Canadian forum.
