If it says it connects to the stock setup then yes, it will bolt right up. I would still suggest saving for a good set of long tube headers and a new Y pipe to fit those, you'll get more torque. If you just want loud you can always consider getting a cutout, that's the quickest way to loud.

whats the difference between a regularY pipe and an off road Y pipe besides that the off road is cheaper in price?

Off road Y pipe does not have cats, so if you need to pass emissions it's not going to get the job done.

Tman, I answered your question in the new thread you made.

texas: As far as the cutouts go you have multiple choices. You can go for 2 cutouts before the Y pipe joins together. This will bypass the cat and get you some HP and lots of noise. You can also put one somewhere in the cat-back system, this really won't get you too much HP, especially if you have an aftermarket cat-back already, but it will get you a good amount of noise. That being said, you have your choice in cut-outs. You can go for a normal cutout, which you have to physically get under the car and unscrew wing nuts to open the cut-out, or you can get an electronic cut-out which you can open with a switch from inside the car. The electronic cut-out is more convienent in the long run, but they cost quite a bit more for the actual part and you have to install and wire a switch.

If your car is anything like mine, it's not going to get too much louder, it will just get a little more aggressive sounding and a bit louder when you really open up the throttle. As far as HP, you can assume that with a full header and Y pipe setup that you'll probably net somewhere between 20-35 HP, I haven't seen any specific dyno results, but those are the accepted values. Obviously you're going to get a little more power and a little more torque out of a higher quality header such as Kooks over the Pacesetters, but that really depends on how big your wallet is.
