Sorry to hear about your troubles! The ORY's usually have no problem. We've installed a ton of these in house and have really good results. It may take some more adjusting to get the proper fit that you are looking for but you should have plenty of clearance between both the ORY and the car as well as the ORY and the ground. Give me a call and I'd be happy to chat with you and get you taken care of. Again, I appologize for the inconvienence!

My TSP Catted Y went on without a problem for the most part. There was some hammering involved with rubber hammers to get joints setup correctly and also align it to my factory WS6 exhausts I-Pipe but that was to be expected. We did another one right after that and it went on twice as good since we garned the tricks of the trade in the first install. The adjustability is awesome on these things but it can also make it a challenge to install at the same time if you don't give it a chance and just have patience.

I give these Y's a big thumbs up. They work great and install great. You just need to take some time to fiddle with them, use a rubber hammer and some patience. You'll get there.

Sorry to hear about the GF man.. there's lots more out there!

At first it didnt fit for me, after some adjusting though it will fit. You just got to wrestle around with it a bit.

Nice job! Did you do any tuning to your car after the headers? Mine smells like it's running pig rich right now..

We had to do some hammering using a block of wood to get everything on and situated right. It's a mighty tight slip-fit but it works well. No leaks so far. Make sure to use Torc-Tite or the like for clamps. The band clamps really hold things together nice and give it a polished appearance.
