I had no rasp with aftermarket y-pipe and stock exhaust, definitley more growl but controllable when you want (i.e. more noise with more throttle).
As with almost ALL aftermarket y-pipes you are going to have a mismatch in pipe diameter with the stock exhaust (3" y-pipe mates to 2.5" b-pipe). Although the flanges fit just fine, there will be turbulence because of the reduction in pipe size at the flange, which I believe translates into a power loss.
Here is the solution I am going with:

Same here- received the package Tuesday, so overall it was just over 2 weeks from the time i placed my order. i was sent an email that was supposed to be able to track through ups where the package was but it never showed up...but that's a good point maybe megan racing was held up. still though, through 2 or 3 emails (i couldnt find a phone number) and no response, even when threatening to stop payment, i never heard anything from this company. oh well, live and learn...i'm just glad the damn things came! anyone else out there, think twice before jumping on the best deal...

I have a friend that will do the install at his shop, but he said $50 and I'm thinking that is a little high. He thinks it will take an hour and that the rate he gives me per hour, instead of the regular $65.

performance: AMAZING these suckers pull so hard!
fitment: they bolted right up w/ the rest of my mods
sound: have some rasp... i dont know if its rasp or buzzing from my exhuast hitting the crossmember i think its a little of both so next weekend im going to rap the sections of exhuast that go over the crossmember w/ some header wrap and see what happens

Here is the best info if anyone is concerned about Tuberlance. Stock and all after market headers have 2.25 collector, and the end of the header where it connects to a cat. it remains 2.25. Company like RT make their cats the way it is so that it will fit OEM exhaust and header perfect. Megan made 2.25 to connect with OEM header or all after market header on the 3 **** side where it connects with the header. Where it tails off, it is using 2.5 to fit most after market Y pipes such as UTR, Pro 1, Megan, Nismo, Fuji and the reast where the start with 2.5 collector and finishes off with 3" at the end. Of course you do not want to go back down to a 2.5 at the end of Y pipe. Nismo full set up is nice. Or Fuji, Power Enterprise, and a lot of other after market are 3" as well. If you went with Kinetix Y set up, got to go with Borla single exit or magnaflow at the end. because those are 2.5" tubing. Jap trix fix some of the issues, but try to stick with one brand so that you have no flange problems or just do more research before buying a product. Look at my list, the entire exhaust system is thought out before it is on. Borla header ends at 2.25. Megan starts at 2.25 ends at 2.5. UTR Y Pipe starts at 2.5, ends at 3", PE starts at 3" ends at muffler out. That is Free Flow, examples like this makes a car run healthy. Also make sure the gaskets are right size as well. That is also important. Hope this help the confused and the lost
