AWESOME! That sounds sooooooooooooooo good! Really nice.....and btw, the AEM intake is freakin cool! Love the sound and have noticed a slight improvement in gas milage.....terrific!

Can you tell me the plus/minus to pairing or not pairing the Y-pipe with a new exhaust?

I knew you'd love the AEM intake!! Glad you're enjoying it As for the plus/minus to pairing the Y-pipe with a new exhaust, if you're wondering if there were any complications installing it then not really. I only wish Racingline would have extended the pipe beyond the flanges where it bolts to the exhaust manifold. This would have made installing it (and the donut/crush washers) much smoother and closer to an OEM install. They only need to extend those pipes like 1/4" beyond the flange. I re-used my existing washers (car has less than 1,100 miles on it lol) and just used a little RTV exhaust sealant to hold the washers in place while I mated the y-pipe to the exhaust. There's a small recess in the exhaust manifold for the crush washers to be seated into. I'll see if I have pictures to show ya later on tonight after I get home from work. All in all though it's not a big deal and I'd definitely recommend getting one

Wahoo I'm #1 for 2010's! Hahah jk jk

I will say though that when I went to the 19x9.5 rims I could feel the difference in power lost having that much more rim but now the power is definitely back. My butt dyno has confirmed it!! hahah

Thanks! Any yeah I freakin love white vehicles. I wish my truck were white as well but it was given to me so I can't complain really lol. At least my two toy cars (I have an RX-7 too) are white!

WOW how'd i miss this thread?!?! AWSOME set-up you got there. the Nismo sounds waaay better with the y-pipe imo, well it pretty much improves every exhaust-even stock. I love my set-up as well!! i'll be looking out for all your future mods!
