I'm getting one for my 2002 Camaro SS. If you have a cat-back exhaust system you can expect about 5-10 RWHP. That's not too bad for around $200. I've heard of people spending a lot more for mods that don't net as much HP.

thanks, what if you don't have a catback? I guess it is useless?

If you look at the stock y-pipe I think you'll understand there will be some gain in H.P, you may not feel much of a gain but every bit helps.

P.S. If you plan on doing headers in the future I would pass on the y-pipe, most headers use there own y-pipe.

Thanks for the input guys. I think that I will just wait until I get headers.

You'll pickup throttle response with the Y-pipe even if you don't have a catback exhaust system. I agree with Dark Age if you plan on adding headers later then you don't need to get the y pipe now. I don't plan on putting headers on my SS for a long while so I'm going with the Y-pipe for now.
