1. How much improvements on hp will I have if I get a y-pipe only? Without an intake or muffler Mods? Would it be worth it in this case?

2. How Loud would it be?

3. Will I pass smog in California

4. Is buying a used Y pipe a good idea?

5. Would you buy a RSB first or a Y-pipe
Thanks

1. I haven't dyno'd my car yet to know how much the gains are, but I believe they are claiming ~15-25hp (Stillen catalog).

2. It isn't too loud. I have a Greddy and the Stillen y-pipe, so it's louder than having a stock exhaust and y-pipe.

3. Yes, you will pass Cali's smog test. I just had my car smogged last month and I passed without any problems.

4. I don't know.

5. I would get both if I were you.
