Put in my Y pipe today
#1
I finally got around to putting in my Cattman Y stainless pipe. It was a pain in the *** at some parts to put in, cause bolts either were stuck or being stubborn... etc. Anyway, after some scrapped knuckles and foul language, I took her out for a spin. The car is not louder at all (good thing), no bees in the can sound or anything like that. But the differnence in power is amazing. If I nail the gas anywhere in 1st gear it breaks the tires (225 50 16) completely loose. I spin a good portion of 2nd gear as well. Definately a difference. Now I think I got the upgrade bug....

Hey Eric,
You know...right now I'm pretty torn between a 3s-gte transplant and a 1mz-fe transplant (add the SC also)....can't seem to make up my mind. We got a 4 banger that should be easier to work on, plus the inherent benefits of the "G" head...or a V6, then add a SC, from SCC dynoed at 243 hp at the wheels (with the TRD muffler), calculated to be 282 hp at the crank....decisions, decisions, decisions.
BTW, Monday I'm starting my part time job as a design engineering designing automotive instrument clusters (and gauges)...to get beer money and upgrades money.
Talk to you later

P.S. Trying to find more info about Twatboy, that nitrous sucking idiot that are giving Camry owners (especially the forum) a bad name. ANy good info, send it my way
