Racingline y pipe finally

i have been waiting to get a deal on a y pipe to go with my other mods. i got one on thr racingline groupe buy around thanksgiving. just installed yesterday since my car was in the body shop getting a new front bumper and airbag parts replaced to get rid of the srs light. luckily i got it all cover under insurance so a $3400 bill cost me $100

i already had HFC, ebay exhuast, intake and intake spacers. i got the y pipe for $250 shipped what a look over stock

i installed fast but was a really tight fit pushing my exhuast back and little and now giving me a weird squeek im going to figure out today. also bolting to the rear cat the flanged was angled a little off. i was able to bolt it down but a little nervous after a little time ill get a crack. at that point it will be a quick trip to an exhuast shop to get welded.

over all tho the car now screams down the highway but around town in just as normal as before sound wise.

Yes you lose a cat but it is not monitored so it will not throw a code or anything

yea i had already punched that out when the HFCs were installed

headers would be too loud for what i want the car to be. its good it can scream now when im on it but cruising and lower rpms its normal.

i had the hanger bracket at the ypipe rewelded today to get rid of the noise. we left the pipe as is since it has the flex.

def love how good it can breathe now
