name that pipe
does anyone have a pic of the under carriage of A32? Hayes manuel cuts off right in the center... where does the B pipe start from? does it start after the cat? does it have a canister attach or is it a straight pipe? any help is appreciated.
thanks,

thanks.

edit: does anyone know if the aftermarket B-pipe is just the pipe? or does it have the "resonator" as well?
thanks.

You can remove the b pipe from the cat with the smaller pipe attached! I was just an idiot when I removed mine! But any ways, Cattman makes a VERY good B pipe. It comes with a large high quality resonator and has smooth (no crimps) 2 inch piping the whole way. Plus, it is stainless steel!! The resonator Also has a hole for the oxygen sensor. This is a direct fit!!
Thanks, that was helpful. A few more questions.
How much bigger or smaller is the resonator on the Cattman B pipe compared to stock (i'm hoping it is smaller b/c mines scrapes with my drop)? Do you know if there are straight B-pipes without the resonator (straight pipe)? How much does it cost compare to a cat-back exhaust? Did you consider a cat-back exhaust before going with just the B-pipe? I'm actually considering just the B-pipe for the non-noticeable look.

Stillen actually makes a b pipe that is straight through, but I dont know if you want to go that route, especially if you dont want to be noticed! Removing that resonator will make your exhaust loud as hell, and it will gain you little hp!
I think cattmans b pipe is $300. If you add their high performance muffler for $350, you will then have the cat-back system! I purchased the cat-back system, but the muffler was a little too loud at the lower RPM range, and so I kept the b pipe, and put the stock muffler back on. The muffler that cattman sells is just a striaght through glass pack which has no baffles to quiet the exhaust down. My advice would be to buy their b pipe, but keep the stock muffler, that way you still have that non-noticeable look! Plus, if you want to get an after market muffler later on, you can go to a muffler shop get one that is more free flowing, but retains a quality sound that is pleasing to your tastes!
