Well guys, did it live up to the hype? Any regrets? Curious to hear input after almost a year.

I've had mine for nearly a year and it's been great. No issues at all. I installed it at the same time as some HFC's, and I'm very happy with the combination. Definitely worth the money in my opinion.

So forgive me for asking a question that has probably already been answered, I just read this whole thing and I'm falling asleep so I didn't absorb it all completely. If I were to buy this y pipe would it fit my otherwise stock exhaust? And I just noticed it went up to $130, they must have realized that was a serious bargain...

I made djsekz my bitch.

Mine did (yes, I had the HFC's too, but they're the same dimensions as the stock cats). I can't say that a year later they're making them exactly the same, but I'd imagine they are, and if so, everything should fit up fine with stock exhaust.

I bought a set of cheapo test pipes and they cracked at the O2 bung. I had a Topspeed Y pipe and it lasted for about a year until I switched to an H pipe setup.

And did anyone end up dynoing these things? What kind of gains are we looking at?

Mine is still doing great. It's seen some weather and no rust at all. Flex boots are holding up well, no leaks. Mated to a Tanabe CBE, sound lovely.

Looks like the current "buy it now" price for these is $120. I bid on one that had 120 buy it now, but a starting bid at $99. I placed the minimum bid of $99 and won the auction. Will see in a few days how it performs. :driving:

y-pipe + tp's on stock exhaust = great hp gains, but awful rasp

Megan Y-pipes are excellent quality and under $200 smacks.

anyone think the tanabe y-pipe justifies its high price tag?

i got the tanabe catback, and i love that thing! figured it makes sense to match em up..

one y-pipe to another will have such minimal differences that its neglegable.

Unless you're talking the MD XYZ pipe.

Actual proven gains and nicely built.

Was it proven gains over another aftermarket y pipe? Got a link?

Not handy, sorry, but the research into what makes the best y-pipe is on the MD page. It's clear just *looking* at the other designs, that they're not optimal.
