Y pipe+ Catback = +20HP? Can we assume this?

big difference between HP and WHP.... 13 WHP is probably almost 20 HP (maybe 18.... i didnt do the math and just throwing numbers out there lol)

speed force racing has seen similar WHP gains with their Y-pipes on the VQ.. and Turbo Tim informed me that , depending on the type of connector used in the y pipe, the flow can really be altered, freeing up those extra few HP... sounds like Racingline did a good job on R&D with their Y pipe getting the maximum amount of power out of it

This is somewhat apples to oranges but,

on my 3rd altima I dyno'd 233whp/236wtq with the nismo exhaust and racingline Y-pipe. Only other mod was JWT clutch kit.

Given 3rd gen se's ussually dyno around 210-214whp stock I attribute the gain mostly to the Y-pipe.

Just sold my 3rd Gen 3.5 manual 5 speed. I had the Racingline Y-pipe and Nismo exhaust and JWT clutch kit.

I now have an 08 Atli Coupe 3.5 6 speed.

Very impressive numbers. Will probably be my next mod. Interested to hear the change in exhaust noise. Hope it doesn't make it obscenely loud.

After installation issues (had to bend the brackets) I finally got my racingline strut bar installed this past weekend and have been very pleased with it so far.

It won't make it much louder at all. It gives a nice growl and better tone.

This was on my 3rd gen altima.

Quick question, I like the how the still exhaust looks and sounds for my 3.5 but I would really like it if it sounded a little bit louder kind of like the nismo exhaust that atleast has more of a growl to it and you can actually hear it. If i were to buy the stillen exhaust and put the Y-pipe would it make much of a difference than without the Y-pipe?

probably slightly. It would have the recoil effect which removing the 3rd cat creates.. its pops when you let off the gas and sounds somewhat like a 350z

Or you could remove the resonator on the stillen ex.

So the Y-pipe removes the 3rd cat? Does that effect emissions at all? Georgia has emissions testing. If this has been answered before then my bad.

Haven't seen this thread in a while. Last I heard this was supposed to be out in October, then February, then March, then April, now mid May? Seeing as how we've been waiting since September last year I hope this is worth it!!! Not being disrespectful, but damn its been a long time.

yes it has taken a while and there have been a few hiccups along the way, and even 2 redesigns, but the wait was worth it. We exceeded the expected hp goals we had and all is good now. They are finally in the production stage and will be ready soon.

I for one totally forgive you for the delays The numbers you quoted a week or so ago are totally worth the wait in my opinion. Now that they're actually in production, we're obviously much closer to being able to buy them.

I'm interested to see what you're able to offer group-buy wise. Can I pre-order one now and get a group discount later? Haha

Nope.. Y-pipes are only on 3.5s.
