Toadster for one, remember there is AL and SS Y-Pipes. I got the SHO SS Y-off road. I think it cost the same as the AL Y with Cat. I didn't get in on a GB to top it off. Anyhow look at alot of there prices there alot higher than BAT, CTA and SPmotorsports. They seem like a very greedy bunch to me. Maybe they got the Hollywood syndrome.
Actually the guy I spoke to was very nice, but MONEY can still get even the best of us!!! My gripe is actually with the Y. I purchased it to progress not to regress!!! :rolleyes:
Corey if you don't know already, with the SHO Y I'm actually getting slower 1/4 times than when I had the Stock Y, gutted cat. And even then with the gutted cat the car felt slower than before it was gutted. The thing is when I ran it on the drags with the stock Y in place, cat not gutted I broke the Diff and didn't even finish the run. Best time to date: w/stock Y gutted cat 60' 2.6 15.2@92. Best time with Off-Road SHO Y 60' 2.5 15.3@89. Even with a better 60' than my fastest run I still fell behind .1 and 3mph at the end. Actually my 60' is whats really killing me, but the engine is falling flat on it's face up top which explains the slower time and mph. As Chris Wong has already suggested your best bet is to just change out the Y area on the Stock Y with a better flowing one and install a CATCO converter. I have no coubt that will work much better, plus you maintain the 180 bend which seems to work well with the car.
