The Y-Pipe is on!
It was installed since Saturday but I didn't feel like posting it until now
. I would like to thank my dad for helping me with the install. It was raining on and off on Saturday so that slow us down a bit. The ironic part was that the sun came up when the installation was finished. Total time to get it done was about 3.5-4 hours. There was a slight fitment problem but nothing major though.
Aw man, the car is definately louder but it's not annoyingly(is that even a word?) loud. If I accelerate hard from a stoplight I can hear the y-pipe over the intake(like many on this board have said). Hopefully these noises will quiet down after a week or so.
I parked the car in an empty parking lot to listen to the rear end of the car. To my amazement it was dead quiet! Before the y-pipe, my car would make a 'put put put' type noise.
Another thing I noticed is that my car starts up more quickly now. The engine rev more easily and it sounds smoother too!
So far so good. I'm happy I made the purchase.

You can hear the Y-pipe?
Or do you mean you can hear your exhaust, since you have the Stillen B-pipe with removes the resonator?
Here's a nice test. Drive around 65MPH+ and then hit the gas, you should notice a huge difference.
Congrats on the purchase.

Re: The Y-Pipe is on!
If your Ypipe sounds louder than your intake at any point, you should consider that you might have a leak somewhere. My Cattman is no louder than stock at idle and cruising speeds, and you hear a small gurgle with throttle. Not loud at all... Were it not for potential emissions testing problems, I think the Y pipe is a mod everyone should get.

I only hear the noise when I accelerate hard but if I'm cruising the noise is like stock.

There may be a teeeeeny leak but I removed it at least once and checked, even put in new gaskets and re-attached. Still the little bit of putt-putt. No one can really notice it but me.
