Budget Y pipe: JIC Magic or OBX

christian370z · 11-06-2010, 06:17 PM

The JIC also has smoother bends and a better collector which means more power. I would spend a little more coin for the JIC pipe since it looks to be better in both quality and design.

Thanks to all for the input. I was hesitant about the OBX to begin with, but this confirms JIC for me. It helps that a few of you already have the JIC with no issues.

Christian - saw some of your posts with making same or better power with HFC and JIC y pipe... very encouraging for me since I want to keep the car fairly quiet.

I actually have a Tanabe Y pipe but it has the same diameters as the JIC y pipe so the performance/sound difference should be negligable. My intake/HFC/Y pipe setup nets the same if not more power than some intake/cat-back exhaust cars that have dyno'ed at the same dyno.

Also going with this setup CNT HFC, JIC Y pipe, later on the intake. Hopefully ill have the same results as Christian. (309 whp)
