the cam is an excellent street cam. can barely even tell the car is cammed. the car is alot louder though, and i love it. power is real good. right from 2000rpm till redline. it pulls infinite times better then the stock cam.

Is it on your car or in your closet?

Um yeah, guess I was just wondering how you could comment on fitment(on the car) - when it's sitting in your closet...

Just asking a question dude - no need to roll your little smiley eyes at me.

It's a good quality piece... however, had a little trouble getting it to fit the older style Pacesetters, and it didn't fit well with my BMR driveshaft loop (had to sawzall a piece off of the crossbar section of the loop so it wouldn't bang). Overall though it is MUCH better than the Pacesetter ORY that I had before... that thing banged all the time.

even though its not on my car you can still put the peices together and see if they fit.

It does fit a little differently once it's on the car... it was hard to get it all jostled into place because the header collectors point off in different directions, the i-pipe section was a little too long, the y-pipe hung a little too low in the wrong spot for the driveshaft loop, etc.

It isn't a simple "plug-in-play"... required a little bit of patience to get it all on there correctly and so it wasn't making contact with anything.

My experience as well. Most notable on the one I installed was how the Y into the I ended up pointing down. With my chassis lift, where the rear/torque arm hang, it compounded this problem since the drivers side cat was into the TA pretty bad. Probably not as big of an issue with a jack on the rear or a drive-on lift.

amit - good luck with your install.

Also - check first if the Y collector will slip over your header collectors. I couldn't get the one I had to do this - on brand new coated Pacesetters. Had to have the Y collectors 'swedged'(enlarged) some to slip them over the headers...

I have the TSP Catted Y, I had to get the pipes swelled so that would fit over my Hooker Headers, I really do not like the ground clearance... My lowest spot is about 6 inches from the ground, if I could do it again I would look for a different Y Pipe or get a custom one made...

My piece of advice when doing a header/Y install.....do the plugs too while you're in there.
