The stock y-pipe does hang a little low but from that angle it looks like that's little too much, do you have the y-pipe hanger connected?

This is pathetic... I had better clearance with the crappy Pacesetter ORY than with this stock one..

I admit, my car is lowered with an Eibach Prokit, but the y-pipe shouldn't be that damn low. I'm thinking of going to an exhaust shop and having that side of the y redone.

Yep.. H/C and stock manifolds..
I have my smog tune and all.. I'm glad that this is just a temp setup. The car definitely feels alot more doggish.

But the 5177 with 125 shot should keep the dogs off me until I can get a new set of Kooks..

Z28VENOM, I have been looking at several of your post and I cant help but feel sorry as hell for you man. You have a nice car with nice mods and now you have been stripped of the ones that really let the world know what you got. Get well soon. Mike.

I'm not too worried about it.. Its only temporary, and now that I've gotten rid off the Pacesetters.. It's a good reason to upgrade to Kooks without getting in trouble.

Kooks SS LTs| Random Tech Cats| Sweet-Thunder TDs over the axle... This will hopefully be my new setup..

That is hanging pretty low compared to stock. Here's a pic of mine for reference.

That does look a little low. From the factory they do hang them really low so they don't hit the floorboard, even though there is a ton of room. You could try to bend it back up if you really want to.
