Default Finding parts...

Where can I buy a coated Y-Pipe...If so, what kind of diameter is best..I currently have stock everything except for Flowmaster muffler.

I have checked SLPonline, and a few other places, Im wondering what you guys recommend as far as where to find a good deal.

Off road, or catted? If its off road, check with Texas Speed. They are a sponsor. Coated isnt a necessity, unless you are going for a clean under car look. My friend has one, and he see no real gains from it. To each their own, though. Good luck, with whatever you do!

I'm looking for a clean under car look as well, and I'm looking more for further improving how great my car sounds, then trying to run 12's..hehe.

Uhm, do I want ORY or catted? I don't think I have any reason to take off my cats when they are on right now, why do most people do it? For loudness or what?

Some do it for loudness, and some do it to see some performance gains. Im pretty sure its illegal to remove your cats, in any state, but that hasnt stopped a bunch of us. I think its a matter or personal preference.

If I buy a catted Y-pipe, I cant later take the cats off and then use the y-pipe as an ORY?

Just so you know it'll only be an appearance mod. The restriction right now is at your exhaust manifolds and corkmaster muffler. You wont gain anything to speak of from it. A y-pipe was one of my first mods because I got one for dirt cheap. All I gained was a bang under acceleration. If I had to do it all over again, i'd save my money for a performance mod.
