I have the TSP catted Y, I picked it because of the positive review in the intake/exhaust sticky in this forum.

That being said, the shop that installed my headers/Y said they had to cut it up to make the Y fit. That ish does hang low as hell too, it sounds great though.

Although now that im used to the sound, I'm considering switching to an offroad Y so it will be a little louder.

I had horrible banging with the Hooker ORP and thought that I had to live with it. The QTP fit, with a little help, and no other mods required to prevent banging.

Go to your local parts store......
  1. Buy a piece of radiator hose.
  2. Cut this hose so it opens up, and have it cover the area where the Y-pipe hits your floor board. (Should act like a blanket over the pipe and curl around the pipe a bit)
  3. Now poke a hole into the hose piece, this is where your will screw it to your car.
  4. There is a heat shield held down by screws, undo the closest screw to the hose piece and stick the screw through your hole you poked in the hose piece.
  5. Now screw it back down and it should fit back in its location, if it doesn't you did it wrong and you should try again.
  6. There you go, your done, now start your car and liten to this quiet new addition to your car. I have had this hose on my car for well over a year, and I must say, it works FLAWLESSLY, and best of all, no more banging Y-pipe even with my cam.

I have the tsp catted y pipe and it was a great price but there is some fab work involved. Once I got that figured out it has been great.

yes my TSP Y also hangs really low and bangs the floor board if you hook at low speeds. Dunno I might try that radiator hose trick.
