Budget Y installed after 1.5 years of ownership
![smash](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/smash.gif)
I know it's crazy to have mods and not install them right away but I finally got around to doing it on Tuesday. I took it to a known exhaust shop here in MA and got the Y install along with a new Rush #144 SS 2.25" straight through muffler with a 3.5" tip.
Impressions: I thought I had a fast auto until I got this sucker opened up a few times on the way to meet my wife and kids in Boston. I felt the difference right away.

This install was done perfectly. The header bolts were heated and removed with little torque as possible to prevent the header bolts from snapping, new hangers were installed, flange on the cat was cleaned with a mini grinder and everything was connected with a perfect fit.
Next to go back in will be the VI and this year I'll be patient with the electronics. Some of you guys know what I mean from last summer.

Updated Muffler Info: I had the wrong info but it's now corrected.

I will be ready soon and I'm not going to go with an ECU with the extended limiter because I don't want to rev me aftermarket alternator that high. I might blow it.

Where can I get info on the muffler?
I will need to replace my oem soon. Winter in Minneapolis are very harsh.
So far I have 2 options:
1) http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/xl/xlchamber.htm
Model 13255
2) http://www.dynomax.com/superturbo.stm
Model 17747

I can't stand not installing a mod. The second I have time or money to install, I do it.
It usually works out where I track the package in the mail and have everything ready to go when the mod arrives, so I intsall it almost instantly.

I loved the performance gained after installing a Cattman Y. BUT I later had a full custom 2.5" exhaust with Brospeed muffler and it was wayyy too loud. I hope it doesn't annoy you too much, the drive for me at low RPMs was unbearable.
Plus I didn't notice any performance increase with the catback

Yeah, I've had my Motostorm UDP sitting in my room for something like 3 months now, I really need to get it installed... I even went out and bought the belts and oil ring seal pretty much the day it arrived. Summer is almost here though, so it'll give me some free time... to bring it to someone with a lift and air tools, heh.

Yeah I don't know how you can wait that long... I had my wheels shipped to my work and went out at lunch time to put them on.

I had my springs and shocks in my room for about a month and I couldn't stand to look at them. Then I finally took it to Ben(mzmtg) and got them put in. I could not live with a y-pipe sitting there for 1.5 years. haha
I hope that is my next mod.

My Y-pipe has been sitting in my weight room for around a year. Those bolts are hard to get off, fortunately my sister's boyfriend just told me that as a navy officer he has access to the garages on the navy base with all the power tools and such. Should be installed before I go to Gainesville for school.
Now let's see how long it takes to install my 300z blehm brakes, and my new shocks and springs.
