just dyno'd the old max.
what i have installed is a PR CAI
Budget Exhaust Y-Pipe
Hi Flow Cat
Cat Back exhaust/Muffler
AUTOMATIC/ 18 inch rims
Before i put the exhaust on I ran a 156.1 HP and 172.2 lbs/TQ
today i ran a 171.6 HP and 180.3 lbs/TQ
so the increase was about 15 horsepower and 9 lbs of torque. the increase was in the entire HP range, but the biggest being from 4500 rpm to 6000. so theres the numbers on a $200 shipped y-pipe. Just buy the thing. it works.

Cant wait to put my Y on!
That 4500 to 6000 band is where I need improvement most. The CAI just seems to lose pep up there. I don't have the Catbak and muffler, so my HP numbers won't be as good as yours when all is said and done.

Yep,
The budget exhaust y-pipe is pretty good, I had mine installed about 8 months ago. It was the first power mod I did and I was really impressed with the difference. Mine had a bit of a hiss to it, but I wasn't complaining when I spun the tires going 90km/h (in the rain mind you 
) on the way home .. For the price they charge I'd have to say it'd be good competition, but the name 'budget exhaust' seems to make people think they're getting a cheap POS heh.

Thank you breaux! That's the exact same question I was going to ask. Please answer that bags. Also, can you comment on the sound increase? Thanks so much.

So does that mean the only differences in the dyno was the Y-pipe? Or the entire exhaust (Y-pipe and catback?). Maybe you can read some invisible words that I don't see?

Yup, so before you embarrass yourself in the future gumby, think twice before posting comments that attack other people.
Anyway, bags, when you get a chance, we're still dying to know if all the gain was solely from the 'y' or the 'y' and catback combo... Thanks.

I installed my budget y pipe three days before maxus ,it fit like a glove my self & a friend installed it . The pipe is quiet as I am running stock muffler & i wrapped the flex section to avoid being annoyed with hissing sounds ;to this day I don't know if this pipe hiss's or not best $195 I spent 
iT'S good to know that the gains were not just in my mind.
Shout Out to DUPLEX whom I meet a maxus,who started the thread in the group deals section .

WOW !!!!!
i did not know i was this popular!! sorry if there was any confusion, i did not mean to confuse anyone. i will explian and answer questions. BTW that's why this board is here, to inform
PTATOHED, yes there was a noise increase. but i pu in a hi-flow cat and a 2 1/2 inch b-pipe and after market muffler with a 2 3/4 tip. the y-pipe has a SMALL hiss , i can only hear it at idle if i am standing next to the driver door.
BREAUX124, i did the first dyno run with a CAI. the second dyno run was with the y-pipe and CAT and b-pipe and muffler installed. I do not have enough money to dyno each part..lol
IRONLORD, yes i think it's stainless. it was painted flat black from budget. but it was SOLID in construction
BLACK019, www.budgetexhaust.com it costs somewhere in the neighborhood of $200. the amount depends on the money exchange rate. it changes everyday.
MZMTG, it's a custom muffler/exhaust place in canada. they do good work. if you have any questions about it email me.
if there are anymore questions just ask.. i use this web site to gain info so i will provide what info the brain housing group has.

Re: Re: Re: Yep,
**** .. maybe I should get mine prepainted ... he wants $200 USD for painting the whole kit ...
Ereet ... when u said yours came bent ... bent in half?
do u think that if I get it prepainted & shipped bent that the paint would get screwed up?

The 450 was for sides/back, I got the front done free because I had the entire front bumper repainted due to an accident, so they included the front costs in the insurance. Not a great price, my friend works at an auto colision place and has great hookups for painting, If you need a place I might be able to hook you up. They quoted me $350 flat for hood/trunk & spoiler (dealership wanted $650)..

Whoa
Ereet you haven't got your VB mod yet? Damn that is taking a while! Any new "experiences" with racing the five oh? We all gotta hook up at the end of the summer/fall since most of our cars will have some new additions since we last met. And this time we can probably get a bigger turn out if we do it right. What do u guys think?

So breaux and I were right. That's kind of a bummer though. We still don't know what the y-pipe contributed to the 15 horsepower increase and what the catback contributed. :( Was it 7.5/7.5, 10/5, 15/0, 0/15, etc., etc.?! Oh well. :I Thanks though Bags!
