Exclamation NEED SOME CLEARENCE and some input

so ive got the SLP LT setup but I think I might have a solution. The y-pipe and the catalytic converters cause the most of the clearence issues so I was wondering if I could retro fit a new off road y-pipe with out cats. I dont want to pay the time and money for new headers so I was looking at QTP's off road y-pipe or there y-pipe with cutouts and NO CATS. What do yall think of this and what kind of clearance will I expect from QTP's y-pipe with no cats...Also what do I do about the 02 sensors???

oh way to close to the ground. Its an SLP setup. I asked a guy if he could move it closer to the body but he said it would rattle any comments???

You could probably get a little clearance form a ORY pipe. SlPs are just going to hang low.

You can get a better clearance y-pipe but that will not change the fact that the first thing to scrap will be one of the tubes on the passenger side. I had the SLPs, with cats and then without. Never did the y-pipe scrap. Only the the passenger side header! So, all this effort won't get you anything.
