I agree. However, if matched with an intake you might get up to 7% more Horses...Add a Y-Pipe with a High flow cat and that numbre jumps almost to 10%.

Got that from a magazine article!!

Generalization comment like yours could be very misleading. Every car in the world is not built to be the same therefore #s can vary. Now which mag did you read this crap from?

Blurbing out percentage increase is just so BS.

PS: You've backed out the Y-pipe groupbuy so I don't think you should be even mentioning it.

Speedemn got about 8 fwhp after installing his catback on his 4 cylinder...I didn't do a baseline on mine so I'm not really sure.

I think the result that he got was from both pulley (provided that this upgrade itself is +2-3hp) + catback upgrade.

I backed out from the group buy cause I'd rather go with Cattman's y-Pipe. I have a right to choose the product I purchase and I exercized it!

With regards to the %'s you spoke of the NA V6 Auto. My post pertained only to that!

Let me clarify, you initially stated that you're very interested to participate and you demanded dyno chart with photos.

You never replied my email after providing you those two information. Not even a word indicating you're backing out on the GB as I together with other people were waiting for the deposit from you for at least a few weeks.

So much for for the term "responsibility" that you might not heard of.

First of, I apologize for not replying to your email, mainly because I never received one.
Till date, I still dont know the Dyno figure from the Group Buy.
Im only going for the Cattman Ypipe, because a post on Camryman claimed that it was better. I did not have any factual proof against this. If you send me any data @ npalkhiwala@yahoo.com, I will mail a check tomorrow itself.
I apologize profusely once again, but in this case, I was helpless!

I have also received numerous emails from a lot of people regarding to the GB everyday. I can certainly tell by reading their email who is &quot;just inquiring&quot; or &quot;very interested&quot;. Moreover, I've sent out a GB list to those who are interested to get the y-pipe and they're all clear that they're going to order it unless indicated in advance.

And Aviv, I'm really suprised that you missed out my emails and my posts in both TN and Camryman regarding to the dyno, while at the same time, you find a post on Camryman claimed that the cattman y-pipe was better! Wow I wonder where that comment came from if nobody had any information on the two y-pipes.

If a business has to dig out something that the customer had promised to pay months ago, that business is certainly going downhill.

By all means, buy the cattman y-pipe as you wish. I do not have the interest nor time to deal with such a responsible camry/solara owner.
