the cattman is the stainless steel looking one. stillen is ceramic coated. the cattman has a bigger flex section also. I dunno why the stillen on is all curvy

if its turbo it won't use any of these y pipes and if its supercharged, it prolly has the w/s 3" full exhaust.

Well I have the crappy 02 y pipe so Im not sure what might be different from the 4th gen y pipes. I rode im my buddy sloppymax 01 that had the cattman and he borrowed a lot of header wrap to cover the flex section b/c of the bees in a can noise. I never noticed it but the owner of the cars always notice things others can't. Just for reference his cattman pipe had the really short flex opposed to the one pictured. He replaced it with one he got from Dallas at WSP and now the noise is gone, except for a leak in the weld DOH!!!. Im just hoping that hotshot uses a lined flex so I dont have to hear buzzing when I get the headers on.

I like the idea of having a collector, but the stillen design looks a little more restrictive than the cattman IMO.

yeah, I told you it was from a rattling heat shield, but you insisted it was the Y pipe

I can rattle my tail pipe and hear it coming from the mid to back area, I have yet to get under there and fix it cause I havent driven the car in 3 weeks

dang problems.

i think the cattman looks like it flows better. the stillen is funky shaped and bends more in certain places. also the cattman has straighter piping, not sure if that matters though.
