Chewbaca is gone-Tanabe CBE & Y pipe

DrEvil · 05-25-2011, 10:43 PM

About two months ago I had installed a Tanabe CBE and and the time I had left the Y pipe stock, man was I ( and still am) impressed with the sound When I let off the throttle the car would make a growl much like a wookie.
On Monday I had the matching Tanabe Y pipe done and what a different exhaust note. Butt dyno says definite improvement in midrange power but now, no wookie. The exhaust note mellowed and deepened , it actually sounds a bit more "mature" and deeper.It's even a little quieter inside the cabin. Sorta miss Chewbacka but a real good upgrade none the less.
Found an Osiris dealer/installer near me so I'll go and get a tune and get her o the dyno.I'm going tomorrow to check them out.

Running the same system except with an ebay Y pipe. Got to love it!

You'll see gains for sure with that new Y pipe. The stock pipe is so wimpy and constrictive.

When I saw the oem pipe my first reaction was wtf??? It seemed so small, glad I replaced the with a Binford 6100 (grut, grut).I be going down to our Delaware home this weekend, so I'll really get the feel of it. Wonder how many Zs' I won't see.

How did you get a Tanabe Y-pipe? Most dealers have told me it's on backorder!

My dealer ordered it for me just before the earthquake hit.It just arrived last week.

icic, I emailed them and they said that the earthquake really didn't effect them since they were pretty far away from where it hit. I'll call my local dealer to see if any are available.
