I finally installed the SHO Shop Y pipe with cat the other day. Just like everyone else says, the factory pipe is a heavy beastmonger  The next day I took it to a local exhaust guy to weld it up, muffler clamps should not be a permanent way to hold the exhaust. While they were under there I also had them put in a 2 1/2" resonator and piping all the way back to the rear Y where they tied in the pipe. I decided to try leaving the rest stock. The car has a extremely deep tone with zero rasp. When I'm at a constant throttle it doesn't have much drone. It is fairly loud, for stock muffs in the back. What surprises the most is how responsive and powerful the car feels at low to mid range rpm's, compared to stock though. What do you guys think about this setup? I just thought about experimenting a little before doing the whole exhaust to see what differences can be had. I think that for people that want to save money or can't afford lots of extras this is a nice improvment.
