y PIPE ???

[RALMADA]

I’m planning in increasing the HP of my 1999 max (most increase of power per $), so I’m considered installing a Y pipe, but I have two concerns:
1 How loud would the max become with a stillen y pipe?, I installed the variable muffler of the max 2000, which helps at the exhaust, without the noise (quite expensive).
2 How would this affect the emissions controls, do someone with a strict emissions controls state like California did have any trouble?, I have read that it only affects the emissions when the car is cold, just before the catalytic converter starts working (needs to be quit hot to work with the expected efficiency).

Its not that loud. Everyone has their opinion, the car certainly opens up with a deeper tone. I hear that many people in CA have passed emission when the car is warmed up. So take the car for a spin before getting it smogged. Good luck. Go with cattman performance. Reason why? Personally i think the weld is 50% better than Stillen. Stillen is a total rip off.. Stillen is short for Steal ing..(quote by mtrai760):sun:

First it is NOT a "Y" pipe, it really is an "F" pipe.....

2nd save your money and goto an exhaust place and they make you one for less than 1/2 the price....

If you have the OEM muff the noise is acceptable. :smoker2:

RX7 is implying that the y pipe looks more like an F pipe because of its struture. thats my opinion.

that is because one moron said "what should I called this?, oh I know a Y-pipe, yeah that's it a Y pipe....." and then everyone started calling it a "Y"pipe.

Like when you go to a restaurant and you say give me a "coke" instead of a soda or pop, etc...

yup, the pipe looks nothing like a "Y".

Y pipe is a popular term because many cars do have a "Y" pipe.

Either two pipes into one OR one pipe splits into two.
