Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Duratec Performance opnions please?

i wanted everybodys opinion who has the sho shop y pipe on there duratec to tell me what performance diff. it has done 4 them is it worth doing? and what about the catless version is it better or worse?

I ran the offroad version for a while.

Night and day difference with a chip. Not as much gains without a chip's extra timing in the low & midrange.

Build quality was below average.
Flex joint failed within a week and the pipes never lined up correctly. Though I did some "encouraging" on them to get them close enough.



I would have your stock Y-pipe modified. (2.5" flange) Probably cost the same or even less and would give the best results available while still using a Y-pipe setup.

thanks i'll take ur word from what i see you know great ride

I never got my y-pipe from them so I can't comment on the performance but I would highly encourage you to NOT buy anything from ShoShop. I had a ypipe,headers and cia on order with them for over 2 months and they still didn't have the stuff together so I had to cancel my order then on top of it they were taking their sweet azz time about refunding my card (they charge you as soon as you place the order NOT when it ships) so I had to get my credit card company to reverse the charges. I know some people on here have had no problems with ordering stuff from these guys but there are quite a few that have had similar if not worse problems than I did. Just giving you a heads up on their service so you can make an informed decision.

thanks ill keep that in mind
