would you guys recommend the superflo model warpspeed y-pipe?

I'm looking to buy either the regular y-pipe or the superflo from warpspeed (found here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33631). I don't quite understand why they were able to eliminate the flex section from the superflo model.

They claim that "NEW SUPERFLO MODEL OUTFLOWS THEM ALL".

So, what are the pros and cons of the superflo? I know not many have it, so perhaps those that do would know. Thanks

I think its just a gimick to make us think that its a better pipe and will give more gains tha their other non-superflow pipes.

I want proof its better.

Well, here's my reasoning:

I don't care if the superflo performs better than the regular. It's sufficient if it just performs the same. In that case, the superflo would be better, not because it "outflows" the other (because lets say it doesn't), but because it eliminates the flex section, which we all know yields most problems in y-pipes (example: bees in the can sound, ripping, etc).

Forget about it, you can always replace a flex section if it goes bad, you could even add a peice of pipe instead of flex or you can wrap the flex if the noise bothers you.

I didnt notice the flex section is gone. I hope no new problems arise with this lac of flex section but seems promising. well if it will give a little bit mroe flow but eliminate most of the problem encountered after installing a Y-pipe w/flex then, sounds like a good deal.

If you get it let us know how it install, anyproblems, no bees in can sound?




so is that another gasket we'll need to have put on the car?

they state they also have a version with superflox flex section.

they also say its a 2" downpipe, isnt it suppose to be 2.5"?
whats 2.5" collector?

I must be missing something

I'm thinking that the part substituted for the flex in the superflo also flexes. eh?
