I am going to the track tomorrow to compare my runs last weekend without the f-pipe.
They are very busy they do a lot more than just Maxima stuff, but they always answer the phone.
PS I sure was nice to watch them install it too instead of doing it myself, they heat up the nuts etc and take their time. About a 45 minute install which is mostly removal time.

As far as sound goes, in between would be nice...but as long as it doesn't have anything bigger than a 3 1/2 inch tip I'll be happy. I just can't justify having a tip bigger than that on my car.

Do Org members have a say in what we want the exhaust to sound like?

I'm actually interested .. what is wrong with Budget ... I will say this .. their customer service suck$ ... I'm sorry no .. it's non-existant!
I've been waiting for a quote for a 5th gen b-pipe for over a month .. I've sent numerous e-mails and have only had one response saying that they'll have a quote for me tomorrow ... that was over a week ago .. but to even get that response took over a month!
I wish it wasn't so .. they're only a 15 minute drive from me & it'd be easier to purchase and get it installed directly from them.
WSP ... do you have any intentions to produce a 5th gen b-pipe with no resonator?

I'm not one to get into these debates and such, but I must say that Dmontzmax, you may be wrong. I agree with you wholeheartedly and will even suggest to others to get the Warpspeed y-pipe. I think it may be a better overall buy in terms of quality and service. However, Budget Exhaust is not as bad as you make it out to be. I chose to get the Budget y-pipe because I didn't want to spend that much money on something else. When I recieved my y-pipe, it was nowhere near "junk". The welds were sturdy, the bends were smooth, the flex was quality. The only thing that popped up when I searched the forums, was the noise issue. I personally don't have a problem with the noise. My girlfriend doesn't either. In fact, no one I know has a problem with it. A lot of people say they like the sound. You only hear it when I'm WOT anyway, then my intake drowns it out. You shouldn't bad mouth a product based on the opinion of others. See the pipe in person, take a ride in someone's car who has the pipe, then make your opinion. That is all.

I don't know if Budget has any probs with their pipe, I personally know two guys with the pipe and it shown the same rsults as any other so as far as performance goes, there is no difference between either of the 3 companies. as for the quality of the build I wouldn't go as far to say any are better than the other... ALL 3 COMPANIES are having flex section problems, PERIOD!!! as far as customer service goes, I was pleased with WSPs curteous and personal service, being able to tak directly to the maker is an added plus and being that they gave me a deal on mine I'd have to say WSP is the best way to go!!!
thats my $.02....no Budget bashing out of me, but from my POV, go Warpspeed for good prices, customer service and satisfaction!

WARPSPEED!
Warpspeed told me about 2 months ago that their Y-pipes would be
"ready in about a week".
Now I've heard a lot of good things about Warpspeed which is why I've been kinda waiting for their y-pipe to come out for the 5th gen's
but they are taking FOREVER!!
Does Budget make Y-pipes for 5th gen's?

Re: WARPSPEED!
i am itching to get budget's new catback exhaust. if its muffler choice they were worried about, jeff over at budget told me it will be closer to quiet than noisy, but i wouldn't mind an aggressive tone at all. the stock exhaust is very muffled and i would like to open it up even more. as for quality, i have no complaints. the SS304 ypipe i have is holding great. performance wise, you can look at my best time. they have improved by an average of 2 tenths over the stock ypipe.

They don't have a 4th Gen b-pipe ready yet so don't think the 5th Gen is.
I have no affiliation with Budget, I was there for the first time on Fri to get a Y-Pipe installed, they let me take pictures etc and watch the install.
They are nice friendly folks and they told me most of their pipes are shipped not installed on site which is a shame because its soooo much easier with a torch on those nuts.

I finally got a response ... I sent a very straight forward e-mail explaining why they should respond to my simple request & lo and behold .. a response with a quote!
I'm probably going to go sometime next week to get a final quote after they actually look at my b-pipe rather than the pix I sent.

They are not computer geeks they make exhaust systems so don't expect speedy replies via email. You cannot order online but you can't with a lot of Max people. Their webpage prices are out of date.

EnOUGH BUDGET is GOOD
I think the importnat point is, hardly any of you guys have dealth with BOTH companies so you are biased. as with me, i have had experiences with both, and BUDGET is by far the pipe for your money. 225 for aluminum(last your 5 years max) and 175 for stainless(10+). there is just nothing else to say performance gains are same you just save a lot of money. as far as customer service goes, i dont know about how you wsp say they are great they are nice but everyone knows they are hard to get in touch with. budget answers the phone all the time.

Re: EnOUGH BUDGET is GOOD
I ordered my budget y pipe via phone and from my experience, the customer service is great on the phone. I even talked with Jeff himself and for 175 shipped with the same performance ?
why nott..
why nott..

I had a budget b-pipe before and loved it, came with a magnaflow resonator and sounds great, just hung kinda low....
My friend bought the warpspeed 2.5" , he had to weld it and it came in a bunch of peices, he was not happy.
