Y-Pipe: Warpspeed or Cattman?

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"..

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.

What about Stillen? ($teallin, that is)

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?

Y PIPE 2002

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.

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.
