I just got a performance y pipe and it has a black flex pipe. the seller was told It was cAttman but I'm pretty sure it's not.. I researched it and couldn't find anything on it.

anyone have any ideas what Brand it may be?

 

Pictures could help..

 

I'll get them now

 

It was probably replaced. Flex sections do fail ya know..

Either that or it was painted with rust proof spray. Who knows.

 

+1
But it could also be a Warpspeed or Budget etc. with s**t flex and then painted too, just saying. Hope it is a true Cattman for your sake though.
No way of confirming or denying a true Cattman Y w/o pics of your pipe. Be glad to help you out as I've spent plenty of time with mine just installed my new Cattman Y a few weeks ago. Have some pics on my camera but need yours in order to compare and provide definitive answer for you. Hope you got what you paid (or thought you paid) for though.

 

What I'm wondering is.. Why wouldn't you ask for pics before buying the y-pipe to confirm whether it's a Cattman piece or not?

 

well I know the kid, and I know it's performance.. I got it for 100 bucks and I'm not going to pass that up. I'll get pictures up tomorrow. is cAttman that much better?

 

and by I know him, I mean I helped take it off the car.

 

Its arguable whether Cattman is better or not. Quality, yes. Performance assuming same pipe sizing, that's debatable. Main thing is Cattman is much more expensive. Which is most likely why Chris asked why you didn't check before you bought it.

 

^ My thoughts exactly but for $100, who cares whether it's Cattman or not. That's a great price for any aftermarket y-pipe.

 

lol i'm the seller and i'm just as curious. for the record (since some of you seem to have been confused by nismo95max's post), i didn't sell the y-pipe as a cattman. i sold the y-pipe as a y-pipe that i was told may be a cattman. it was established that it could have been any brand.

 

^he is correct.. I should have cleared that up as well. the seller (wesctr) was told it was one. but ^he and I both knew it probably wasn't. I'll get pics up tomorrow so they can be compared. just curious!

 

Still want to see pics of said Y-pipe.

 

it seems like it's a warpspeed pipe. the two down pipes pinch in a little before the join, which from pictures i've seen, is a warpspeed characteristic.

 

Just post the pictures already.

 

My Warpspeed had no such pinch.

No, my flex section sat a little further back:

Don't know what is it is but a 100 bucks nice buy....

 

^agreed! im tryna get pics its just raining and its turning me off off going out and taking inside pics. ill get them i promise!

 

In for pics!

 

lol@francis..

My Cattman looks like the first one that westctr posted.

 

If it turns out not to be a cattman are you not going to install it?

 

I am definitely still going to install it! judging by what people say I think it may be cattman, I promise I'll get pictures up tomorrow.

and Francis you helped me take it off what do you need pictures for??

 

well... i got a cattman and it resembles the first pic.... like others stated..flexsections do go bad...mines almost there...when i replace it im going to spray my whole ypipe with rust preventitve spray and wrap it in header wrap to eliminate some heat....

 

Don't forget to spray it again after the wrap.

 

yea it makes sense to spray them with rust resistant spray. pictures are taken and will up tonight for examination! now I'm just curious so I know what to put in my sig.

 

In for pics!
