I can't believe you even had to ask that. Def. more gains to be had on the Y-pipe! Go order it and tell Joe that Dangeris sent you...he'll hook you up with a good price...

You will not get a CEL with the Y pipe. The only 2 that did had exhaust leaks. All you need is COPPER RTV sealant and you'll be fine. it costs less than $5 at your local parts store

I have the Y-pipe and did not install any sealant, just used the OEM gasket for the catback. No leaks no problems.
