Y-Pipe for Christmas - Help me choose!!!!

I'm going to break down and finally do it. I thought about getting the Budget but I don't know them to well. Although I'm not cool with Warpspeeds marketing scheme, I think they make a good pipe and I may go with them (Warpspeed, feel free to chime in).
Cattman and Stealin' are too expensive. I don't know who to go with. Help me peeps!

call warpspeed and make sure you talk to dallas if you can. Order directly from him and get him to promise you a date that he'll deliver. He will. Thats what I did.

I have a cattman but if I were to buy it all over again, I would have got a warpspeed. Cattman is a good pipe especially the new flex versions but for the money, Warpspeed gets the job done just as well with less $$.

The Budget pipe looks pretty nice and with the price tag looks even nicer. I have the Cattman and I like it a lot and would recommend it.

I think I'm the only person who hasn't had a problem ordering from Warpspeed...and I didn't even call them. I did it all through e-mail. I'm getting my pipe installed on Saturday!

Later,

If you have the money..............the new Cattman............

If not....Budget.......mine has performed flawlessly for a year or so.
Even better with the Apexi WS.

Warpspeed sucks.......Tried to order from them........no returned emails or calls

Of course thats just my opinion

WSP non-mandrel alumized Y-pipe. If you order that one, you'll get it very quickly plus it's cheap (~$195). Mine made more power on the dyno vs the Stillen pipe and don't bother with the mandrel pipe because it doesn't make anymore power (I witnessed it on the dyno). I've had mine on my car for 1.5 years and it still looks new, even after going thru a salty midwest winter.

How can you beat 158.xx shipped for a pipe. If you get stillen, I think you are just paying for the name. Budget is the way to go. My experience

I'm happy with my WSP SS Y, its a very well made product. However, their customer service is complete **** I think they write down orders on a post-it note, and hope that dallas sees it on his fridge or something. To make a long story short, they screwed up my order, and I had to send unordered parts (which i was charged for) back to them, 3 months later still no refund I I had to do it all over again, I would have gotten the Budget.

Get the budget...

You can get to it using this link
IT's the top of the Imported Vehicles list. The price is in Canadian $.
Mine was $159.26 US, shipped.
Still waiting to install it though...

would you consider the obx header? It's new and straight off the engine and includes the y-pipe. It has the potential to yield more power than the y-pipe, but nobody has it yet. I think it's got potential. You'd be one of the first on the forum to have one.

Just like I thought. I don't want to spend that much right now. I just kicked out $1700 for one of my lady's Christmas gifts.
