Yes the y-pipe changes the tone of the exhaust! On my Tanabe medalion exhaust when it was first installed i had the stock y-pipe and mid pipe and muffler were tanabe (y-pipe back set, Tanabe at the time was in transition of sending more to the U.S.), after having the Tanabe y-pipe installed i noticed better acceleration ( stock is pretty restrictive), more of a crisp and clean exhaust note, even better throttle response, and it's so beautiful to have as a complete catback exhaust. I couldn't have picked a better exhaust for myself!
