Pacesetter install just installed aset of coated Pacesetter's with the ORY.
went in pretty smooth (with a little coaxing on the drivers side). they sound great with the borla at WOT. Thanks a ton to TSP for getting them here so quick and to 2002silverws-6 and Tileman for help on the install!

you can definetly tell that the car has headers all the time. its just a constant deep rumble until you jump on it 
. it took me a little while to get use to how loud it actually was. i dont think that any of my neighbors are use to it though

the ORY went pretty smooth. we did have to cut about an inch and a half to 2 off of the intermediate to get the y to fit. it was a REALLY tight fit as far as hitting the floor board...once it was on we just used a pry bar to push it away a little....no more rattles...good luck with your set!

Well, cutting the i-pipe shouldn't be a problem... I had an SLP y-pipe put on a couple of years ago, and the idiots at the exhaust shop I went to welded it to the i-pipe... which means when I do my header install, I'll have to cut the SLP y-pipe off... so I suppose while I'm doing that, I'll chop an inch or so off of the i-pipe.

it was a little tight until we got a couple of guys in there to pull down on the headers to slide the y pipe on. After it was on we used the pry bar to give just enough space so it wouldnt rattle against the floor board. I should mention that we forgot to take the heat sheild of on the driver side of he car which didnt help with the rattle and i wasnt about to take the header back off just to get to the heat sheild. you could use a torch or something to heat the y pipe up to bend it with but i really dont think that you need to. just pry enough so you can slide your hand flat between the pipe and the bottom of the car.

Time to get some tires and converter.
