I got my Stillen Y and Hi Flow Cat, but....

I'm installing them on Friday and I've been reading a lot on the org about some problems that have been encountered with the Y pipe. So...should I wrap the flex section with header wrap before I install the pipe, in order to get rid of the possible "bees in a can" sound I have heard so much about? Anything in particular I should know before I install the y pipe? I haven't read anything bad about the RT Cat, so I'm not worried about that. Any help and early warnings/suggestions/past experiences would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

Not sure about the stillen, but I had to wrap my cattman because of the noise.

Installation was pretty tough too, but all cars are different. I had to "bend" the cattman just a bit to line up with the manifolds. Also it will be easier to get the bolts off if the exhaust is still warm.

Do you have any header wrap left over? If so, could you sell it to me? If not, where's a good place to get some?

Ok, installation was done this morning, and all is well. The sound is great and there are no problems, except that there's a small rust hole in my B-pipe/resonator. Oh well, time for a new B-pipe. Any suggestions on what type to get?????
