rick, what are your thoughts on the top secret y pipe?

im not getting a y pipe..im just curious about whats better

thanks

 

using my logic (not that its for sure correct or anything) the fuji y pipe doesnt look very functional



look at all those bends the exhaust has to go through

 

^^ It looks like the cheapo Y-Pipe I got from ebay IMO

 

Even with the JIC compared to the Intense, how much gain do you expect between the two? I would guess < 4whp. If you have a midpipe back exhaust and aftermarket cats/test pipes, then even the Intense Y-Pipe will help because of the larger diameter piping. Regardless of JIC's straighter pipes, airflow is limited to back pressure of the exhaust system. If someone were to do flow testing of the two types, you're not going to see a significant difference...not worth the money difference anyway.

 

y pipes in general arent worth the money

 

hmmm... mine was 40 bucks. I think it was worth every I'm not looking for gains, purely asthetics

 

^^how often do you look under your car?

 

Haha' how often do you look at your butthole? Rarely' but you know it works just fine for what it needs to do. j/p

I meant soundwise, I can't afford the pricey exhaust upgrades right now, so the cheapo pipe sounds good enough. Like everyone says... you get what you pay for.

 

bumping and old old thread.
I'm lookin at gettin a y-pipe and was considering intense power's. It seems the consensus here is that it is a waste to get a y-pipe? i haven't found any dyno's y-pipes only to compare. I'm guessin it's more for sound.

I've always heard more free flow, more top end hp and loss of torque. so my reasoning for getting an intense power y-pipe is to balance free flow with a 3" y-back exhaust (i'm gettin a Fuji) and keep some low end torque. Is my logic way off? of course we'll never know without dynos. i just want to know what everyone else thinks.
