Default Y-pipe & TSP or Speed Eng. 1 7/8" HELP

I searched (a little) to no avail.
What Y-pipe fits, tucks, installs best?
I am lowered 1.5", BMR torque arm and cross member. SLP triangle SFC and DS loop.
WHAT Y-pipe for TSP or SE 1 7/8 and my 'underside' mods
Thanks,

TSP is $270 more, but you get a velocity spike... depends if that's worth the difference to you.

As for y-pipe, they're identical. SE actually provides the proper sized clamps with theirs, though (that is, a 2.75" for the merge to catback).

I only speak with certainty as I've installed both. In my case, I actually had to buy a TorcTite clamp for the TSP y-pipe as one of the female ends was too big and would not get tight with the clamps provided (hmm... sounds like a personal problem, huh? ). No such issue with the two SE sets I've helped to install.

Sorry I thought you asked what y pipe to get for your tsp headers I must have been half asleep. Yea I got the SE 1 7/8ths I would definitely pick them up. No reason to spend over 200 more for same china made headers from tsp.

You're alright...original post was assuming/thought I had found some used TSP's.
Ordered the SE's, ORY, gaskets, and O2 extenders today... Great deal...couldn't see spending $200+ for a velocity spike.
