There's already a stickie about this: http://maxmods.dyndns.org/index.php?MaximaYpipes . All Ypipes are listed and says if they have the bee's in the can noise or not.

Please read the FAQs next time before posting.

The price changes but performance is still comparable. You do have a point there. Since you've read all the y-pipe threads, I'll just tell people to PM you for answers.

Budget stainless steel y-pipe and K&N panel filter, everything else stock. Absolutely no bees, but a bit of a growl at WOT. No discernible sound difference from OEM y-pipe at idle or cruising (can't hear engine or exhaust at idle whatsoever when car is warmed up and windows are closed).

if a y-pipe does end up with bees, is there a sure-fire way to get rid of it, or are there just little things to try and see what happens?

I approve of him also

Your a great buyer also, quick paying for the product so that I could do my part

In answer to your question, the Y-pipe that I sold you didn't have bee noise at P/T. I only took it WOT a couple times but I had my windows up and couldn't hear anything. One thing you'll notice at first is a more pronounced exhaust note from your OEM muffler

I know the warpspeed super-flo is kinda new. For those who have them, how long have you had them and how is the flex joint holding up so far? I have heard some speculations about possible issues arising from it.

And whats the cheapest price anyone's paid for them?

I dont have a warpspeed or havent heard one in person, but they definatly are the most complained about y-pipes besides stone racing with either bees or other problems.

Any warpspeed users who have testified favorably towards it that wants to refute this statement?

i have had it for about a month now. the sound is a bit raspy at times thats all i have to complain about. maximaconvert believes it is faulty gaskets and he is replacing his within the next two weeks... hopefully that's the problem. my flex section is holding up fine
