Finished putting in headers and y pipe(Review) I just finished my pacesetter headers and tsp catted y pipe. It took me two days. The pacestter headers went in fine, I only had to remove the oil dipstick and strut bar to make some extra room. The TSP catted y pipe sucks. The driver side hits the floor board and makes a loud and annoying vibration sound 
Makes the car sound like crap. I even torched and cut down some of the transmission cross member. Ground clearance is fine, just hits to dam floor board. I think i might go to my local exhaust shop and have a custom y pipe made.

I had mine installed recently, and while the sound is great i have noticed what seems to be the y pipe banging the floorboard when the car hooks at low speed....however I can't validate this as Im not much of a car tech...any thoughts?

My car sounds great too when the car isnt moving. Sounds awesome when in park or neutral. But while driving, the movement from the engine during acceleration causes the y pipe to hit the floor board like a hundred times a second(exaggerating but seems like it) and results in that constant annoying vibration sound and ='s that crappy sound overall

I went with the Pacesetters and their ORY. Perfect fit with no banging or clearance problems. Very easy install as well. If the TSP Y is that bad it might be worth getting a new one that fits better?
