Default TSP SS Headers + Magnaflow

Lets try this again since some "moderator" locked my other one.

I love this combo, fits great except the ORY had to be modded.

The sound is amazing, no rasp, no drone, evil when you lay into it. Best sounding V8 I've ever owned.

Don't have before nd after dyno but it made a huge difference over full stock exhaust.

A friend installed them so not sure exactly what he did to the Y pipe but he cut it and rewelded it. I wish TSP would fix it. The merge is awesome but the drivers side fits like ****.

No, I was talking about the TSP Off Road Y pipe....

The headers fit perfect.

NOT yet, they are still selling their old inventory of aluminized orys until the new SS ones arrive. Per Matt last week.

wow imagine that, The TSP y-pipe is now stainless, and it still fits like ****! I mean why the hell doesn't TSP fix this issue? 50% of members who have the TSP y-pipe say it fits horrible. I had a horrible fitting TSP y-pipe for about 1000 miles then i ditched that piece of ****. The TSP headers are great though!!

We have not shipped a single stainless ORY. It's the old Y-pipe, which still requires the same amount of work to install as it always has. Again, for anybody who does not want to put in the effort and time to install it, please do buy the Pacesetter ORY. It doesn't perform like ours does by any means, but it sure is easy to install

The ORY is 100% the same every time it ships, verified by jigs at the exhaust shop. How can half install it without problems and the other half say it's terrible? ANSWER: It's because of the amount of mechanical inclination/aptitude of the installer! Josh from Spartan Performance (sponsor here) is one of the hardest people to please and one of our loudest critics when it comes to ORY's. Even he has said publicly that the install went fine and fitment was great! Our tech has installed as many of our ORY's (likely more) than anybody out there, and not once has he ever had to cut or modify it to make it fit perfectly.

My TSP fit great, lots of ground clearance I'm willing to bet, since its touching the frame in a few places lol.

Looks a million times better than the pacesetter and other ORYs...only thing is I wish it had a slip fit 3" exit...didn't realize that it was for a stock catback lol. Oh well, no biggie, I'll just cut that section off and weld up to the bigger neck of the merge...looks more like 3.5" though?

However, I am running Ebay headers and original motor mounts, I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.

"Fits great" and "touching the frame in a few places" are mutually exclusive.

Read much?

Fits great as in: lines up with the headers (even ebay ones), reaches my catback, and tucks close. If my car had matching headers and new motor mounts, I have no doubt it would fit perfect.

If the TSP ORY is hitting the floor it's because of the eBay headers, not the Y-pipe. I have a set of eBay headers and they clearly angle up towards the floor of the car.

Wrong. Happens with TSP's headers as well...
