Are there any solid y-pipes on the marketI'd avoid Megan products, they are known for not lasting long.
If your axle-back is a larger diameter than stock, and you get a larger than stock y pipe you may see some gains over stock.
Are those 4 brands direct bolt on?HKS, Revel, Motordyne, AAM are all higher quality than Megan. Megan is pretty much bottom of the barrel quality wise.
They should be, but I'm not familiar with all of them. I honestly think you're better off investing in a full catback than y pipes and an axleback. You'd still need mid pipes as well to make it catback like. But at that point, there is no telling what the final product may sound like.Are those 4 brands direct bolt on?
Or should I get a heat exchanger ?
thanks Ppl
My hesitation is going with a full catback exhaust because I’m in sales and on the road a lot and I don’t want to rock up to someone’s business and my exhaust announces me before I’m there.They should be, but I'm not familiar with all of them.

A heat exchanger is a good investment on this platform. The stock one is criminally small IMO. There are bigger heat exchangers for PC processors.
What are your goals for this platform? We might be able to guide you better on reaching them if we know what they are.
One of the biggest turbo killers is running higher boost pressure with increased backpressure. The higher backpressure comes from using the stock Y-pipe and intermediate pipe, iirc, is only 1.75" diameter in places. Therefore, while using the LDPs in place of the secondary cats is a step in the right direction, I'd recommend a 2.5" dia.-piped CBE to lower the backpressure on the turbos.My car sounds the Sh&$ with just an AMS Ldp, Intake and Axleback exhaust.. so there is no need for a CBE!!
