JIC is my fav so far...

next is fujitsubo...

if the others have flex pipes and a larger collector then the 2 single pipes then those will be cool too...

I have it with a Fujitsubo exhaust and I am very happy with it, it is the best deal and if you are looking for a straight pipe they also make that, click on JAPTRIX in my signature below for more info. I have had it on for almost a year and no problems.

I agree. For the money, you can't beat Japtrix. The only thing that this design lacks is the flex joints. I've had it for almost a year as well on my Z. No problem thus far; however, I will switch to JIC for the flex joint feature.

The Japtrix Y-Pipe is modeled after the Top Secret version for much less.

i have the japtrix mid pipe and it is a very noticable mod that adds a great deep sound in the upper rpms with the stock muff. best bang for the buck.

Less chance of cracking over the long run...in theory.

I had a stillen y-pipe on my Maxima and it buzzed like crazy at certain rpm's. Get feedback from people who already have the type of pipe you want and see what they have to say. It may save oyu some dissapointment and aggravation down the road.

The titanium ypipe is out of my budget because I'm basically looking to trade my borla for the new pipe and not invest any more money into it.
