Cattman Y-pipe w/ Budget B and stock Muffler installed

Okay guys I know some of your are tired of all these posts about the Cattman Y-pipe, but I had to post.

Many of you have wondered about the noise increase with both the y and b aftermarket pipes. Well with my Budget b-pipe w/ magnaflow resonator and Cattman Y-pipe there is little to no noise increase at all. The b-pipe added the smallest amount of noise at idle, but driving around it is as quiet as the stock setup.

I'm extrememly happy with how this whole setup turned out. I had a horrible time getting the budget b-pipe to fit properly and a muffler shop did a crap job on the intall making it fit, but not making it fit correctly. This new shop that installed my y-pipe fixed all their welds and hangers, even replacing my custom rear section with a very nice looking pipe.

Now onto the gains....... Like I said before there was no noise increase and the max definitly doesn't feel sluggish. High and low end flies through the gears and I couldn't be more pleased. Thanks Brian.

Check out my homepage for pics of the Cattman pipe plus pics of the stock one as well.

It was $193 shipped. I'm not sure exactly what they did to make it fit. Tomorrow I'll probably crawl under there and check it out. If you have the money, for sure just go ahead and get the Cattman. With all the install charges I've had to pay I should have gotten it myself.
