Cattman Y and Stillen B with stock cat and muff impressions

I just got back my Y pipe and put it on. it was a pain in the *** cause the flange at the Y pipe seems to be a few degrees off in rotation near the cat. Anyway, I used some generic pep boys exhaust hangers for my cat (to replace weakened and melted ones) and it seems as though they are way too high. They hold the pipe so high that my 3" tip is now in physical contact with the bumper cover. Also, because of the Y pipe flange being off, it also causes my muffler to be slightly to the side. Oh well though, nothing leaks and nothing bangs so its pretty good.

As for the sound, it sounds pretty good. Almost like a new Eclipse cause of the no resonators. Its deep and throaty sounding, but no cabin drone so I'm very happy about that.

As for performance, well its real hard to say. My clutch is getting progressively worse and it slips and slips and slips. now that I got my bike back I might as well start the task of droppin the transmission...

Well, I hope that gives you lots of power because I'm gonna do the same.

Except I"m going with budget ypipe and courtesy bpipe.

Everyone keeps posting that the Y is not a perfect fit. How many people are having this problem?

You'll notice a huge difference in high end power.
At 55+MPH, hit the gas. The acceleration is much better with an aftermarket Y-pipe.

I'll admit my Cattman wasn't a nice fit. But Brian Catts was willing to ship me out another Y-pipe if I couldn't get it on (good customer service). I eventually got it on. Before my Cattman I had a Warpspeed, aside from other issues I had, I have to admit the Warpspeed Y-pipe fit perfectly.
