Default QTP catted Y pipe

i ordered my QTP headers and catted y pipe, they are on their way. i was under the car and noticed that i may have a problem with my cutout in the I pipe. how far back does the QTP catted y pipe come and how much of the I pipe do you have to cut off?

Thumbs up

You will have to cut some of the I pipe down a bit but if your cut out is positioned in the typical/proper spot then you should be ok.

Yeah about 4-8" need to be cut off the I pipe, can't really remember the exact measurement. This is because of the added length of the Flowmaster Merge Collector.
