I've always considered Warpspeed to be a pretty quality piece of equipment

Budget (as above poster said) is a good brand for a good price. I can speak for the budgets quality as mine has survived 2 chicago winters now and still looks great.

I thought warpspeeds pipes were more like $160 bucks...?

i paid 220 in february for my budget Y.....


and from what research ive done, the warpspeed pipe has the most "bees in a can" sound when compared to budget or cattman.

In all seriuosness, Warpspeed has been around forever and has been known to make quality products.
Get under your car, and look at the OEM Y pipe, and then compare it. The OEM unit is bulkier and has two precats on it.
Budget was always the cheapest Y pipe around and also a great product, mine lasted for years and served me well. I sold it to another member and as far as I know he is still using it.
As far as bees in can sound goes I do recall some saying they got it with the Warpspeed Y pipe.

y-pipe is good mod, it eliminates two pre-cats, but back in my na days when i had one it made my car run really rich 10.5a/f needed to get an afc installed an lean it out a bunch to 13.5a/f before i made a huge whp increase on the dyno, if i remember correctly;
stock ~ 170whp
with intake y-pipe 183whp or something like it
with intake y-pipe + afc neo 205whp tuned to 13.5a/f

now with turbo kit @ 9psi 335whp tuned to 12a/f

I recently won and installed the Warpspeed Y-Pipe on a relatively stockish car. I did notice a "seat in pants" horsepower gain! Well worth the money because it was great in quality and fitment!
