g37 Y-pipe
That's great to hear. I'm not a classic mod guy, my mods have always been little things, this will be by far the most major mods I will be doing to one of my car, I'm doing the Intake (I have done it before), and the exhaust and now thinking on the Y-Pipe, but one thing that worries me a little; I love the OEM sound, for me it's very distinctive, moderate and aggresive at the same time, I thought on that before ordering the exhaust and decided for the Greddys because of the silencer (Yeah, I know about how great it sound without them, but I'm not doing it).
So a couple of questions:
1-) What is your currect setup?
2-) How the Y-Pipe changed your sound or tone?, I'm worried about changing too much and then having a sound that I may not like, or even worse, too have the "drone" issue with my 5AT.
Thanks in advance.

I think your bizarro. The car comes stock with a Y pipe...... We have just replaced the 1.75 pipe with a 2.5 Y pipe. Design itself is no different....
Nothing covers it. But it is a small section a "neck" as it were it splits into duals. I think that having true duals all the way up would reduce a lot of the low end torque on this car.
down low yes, i noticed it to be a bit more lagging. but up high it feels as if it pulls harder. I am doing the dyno run in a couple hours. I didnt get a chance yesterday as i had to finishes dyno tuning a car that needs to be sent back to the customer in another state.
its not loosing power. its just loosing low end power but gaining high end power. or at least thats what the butt dyno feels like. but wheni dyno it later i will see. I dont drag race so i could care less about low end power. if i wanted TQ i would have bought a mustang

I just received a call from Hector himself, he told me that the guy that installed the Y-Pipe on Monday (I think it's UNT-IV46) just dynoed the car, and he had 8WHP more with just the Y-Pipe and OEM Exhaust. WOW. Well I ordered mine this morning and I think he already finished it and'is sending it to me maybe tomorrow, JEJE.
He also told me that he finished his first full catt-back exhaust and it sounds incredible, he is preparing the videos for You Tube and will send me the link and pictures, will keep you posted.
