Installed Warpspeed Y-pipe; questions/comments
In my '97se, The y-pipe fit perfectly except for the rear o2 sensor hole was angled differently than the stock hole. I had to remove the heat shield behind the drive axle to fit the sensor in. Am I going to have a problem with this shield not there? The acceleration past 4000 rpm is great. I shifted into second at a measly 5300 rpm and the tires squealed pretty well (accidentally). I saw a cop 100' away after I did this, but he didn't seem to care.
I got the aluminum pipe for $255 I think (it was whatever the warpspeed web site price was). It took 2 weeks or so to get it though. Gaskets were included. The install took about 6 hours (mainly because of some rusty bolts that required torching, cutting, and chiseling...and I don't really know what I'm doing).

Just curious is it really loud? Do you have a catback system? Thanks

It is completely quiet except a hiss when under moderate to heavy acceleration. I just have a jwt popcharger cone intake. Warpspeed sent me a stainless steel pipe with the oxygen sensor location fixed to replace the aluminum one that I had to remove the heat shield for (no charge + they said they'd pay for shipping of the aluminum one back to them). Wow. Customer service/appreciation in 2001? Who would have guessed. I would highly recommend these guys.

What, that I've lubricated the nuts and bolts on my existing Y pipe to make them easier to come off when I get my new one. I'm being serious, it's just that it does have a double meaning which you don't find funny. Excuse me.

I ordered mine the second that I got the Paypal info, so hopefully it'll be coming soon....I can't wait!
My inspection is do. Do you guys think I should do emissions and inspection first and then install the pipe? I live in PA, so we have pretty stringent emissions, and I don't feel like failing.
