i was just wondering what you all feel about a y-pipe on an auto-is it worth it? same results as a manual lol? just leave your thoughts-also if anyone has this setup auto/y-pipe please let me kno how much of a diff it made and also where-high/low -low end loss? etc thanks

 

Hell yeah.

 

Nah. Autos are so slow anyway, you should just skip the engine mods.

 

15 hp is 15 hp no matter what kind of transmission you have

 

i did the y-pipe, test pipe, catback exhaust and intake all at the same time on my car (95 GLE auto) and it really felt like it made a difference.. do everything at once and you'll notice it

 

Nah, that's just your auto. It's too pretty to be fast now a days.

 

Biggest difference I felt was adding the y-pipe. Maybe the best single mod for a auto.

 

I installed my buget ss y pipe this weekend and noticed a difference instantly. I don't know how many horse, but it's faster at take off! Btw i have a 95 gle ( auto)

 

Its worth it!

 

get the pipe~

 

How much does it y-pipe and labor to have it install? It might cost me an arm and leg just to push harder! Naa! I'll past for now.

 

I just got mine installed for $50 bucks (a good deal IMO), didn't have time to install it myself.

 

yep the y-pipe make me go

 

Worth it even more on an auto, cause you need all you can get.

 

100% worth it, def get it 50 bux to install and love it

 

which is the best ypipe to get? i was thinking of goin with the Cattman but i dont think its worth the money. is the CustomMaxima.com one just as good? also how do they sound with a test pipe and sp1? not lookin for raspiness/rice/honda/fart can....

Give them a call.

 

Get a Budget stainless steel y-pipe. And if you aren't in to noise and don't want a CAI or popcharger, couple it with a K&N panel air filter as it will breathe better. That's what I did and don't regret it.

 

I neglected to mention in the above that my 95 SE is a 5-speed. Where I really notice it is high up in 3rd gear - I can't speak for an automatic. I can't speak for low end as I don't put my foot into it off the line very often. Motorvate.ca shows a modest horsepower/torque loss at just above 3,000 rpm which for me is at about 70 - 75 cruising in 5th gear so who cares.

 

man theres always a lot of threads about y-pipes

 

yeah dude, power is power, regaurdless of what kinda tranny you have. Would you like mayo on ur turkey sandwich...or ham sandwich? DUDE EFF THAT it doesnt matter you want it on both cause Mayo makes EVERYTHING taste better...(to some)

 

hhahhahhhohehehehohoho hahah ha....ha...hu ^^^

 

 

no don't get it. u should spend all ur $$ on stickers, cuz it'll make ur car look faster!

 

that is so true ^^^. i also did that, spent about $300 and most of them are on my hood and on the sides my car. I got a lot of compliments and pointed fingers, also i even have stickers that i don't even own the product for like NOS and TURBO.
i also have a BIG 2fast2furious windshield sticker to make my car even faster than the turbo max HAl used to have.
of course i'm kidding and anyone who does this should get punched in the face and their car kicked and laughed at. sorry that i wasted ur time.

 

I put mine on with a broken knock sensor and I could tell a huge difference. I chirped 2nd in an auto, or it chirped maybe at the 2-1 downshift... Either way the butt dyno noticed a nice improvement, and a tiny bit of sound was added to the exhaust.

After I (er... slizan) replaced the knock sensor, I scared myself driving home. This car has got to be a second faster than when I bought it. It's got a 15 sec run in it with just exhaust mods and a K&N.

Point being. Fast cars = fun. That y-pipe is possibly the best deal EVER for import cars. The header on my civic was $400 and it gave me maybe 3 HP. It was a dog even with CAI/H/E.

Whoa I have gone off on a tangent. lol
