Y pipes

I have narrowed my choices down to two Y pipes, Stillen or Warpspeed. I would like suggestions on which one I should purchase. Money is not an issue, so please don't post about the Stillen being more expensive. I am looking at which one has more power, sounds the best and is the easiest to install. Please, only between these two, do not mention Cattman or Budget since they are out of the running.

Thanks in advance.

With all the fitment issues that have been going back and forth over the past few months, I've been pushed away from them.

I'm not sure about budget, but my first feeling is that its not made of best materials.
The Stillen is $350, the top of the line Warpspeed is $299 and isn't the budget under $200?
To me its like comparing Acura, Infiniti and Hyundai. I'd rather pay more and get good quality.
As for the Warpspeed, I don't know if it should be Mig or Tig.

Cattman has switched to a NEW fabricator...the fitament problems AND flex problems are a thing of the past.

I currently own both a warpspeed y and a cattman y.....the warpspeed buzzes...and the cattman is silent. They both fit like a glove. If I wasn't too lazy I'd take the warpspeed pipe off my car and put the cattman back on....

i would hope that budget is not cheaply made, i just ordered one. and as for the comparison, budget performs just as well as the others and is stainless steal. they just offer a good price. and if you can find me a hyundia that performs, feels, and rides as good as an acura or infinity, then we can talk.

Re: Y pipes

Best value - Warpspeed mandrel bent aluminized. I paid $225, no fitment issues other than moving the cat hanger bracket a bit.
