Default who makes a ypipe for pacesetters that fits better?

i have had no issues until the new torque arm went in. i had to beat the pipe to hell and it still hits somewhat on the front of the torque arm. any sponsors have ypipes for sale that would clear an aftermarket torque arm? i tried to contact texas-speed but noone has gotten back to me as of yet. my friend has their pipe and it looks close to the stock torque arm so i dont know if it will work for me, cant be wasting money here let me know guys, thanks

I got the TSP here and love it. No problems or anything like that...although some people have had problems with it. No real sure on the torque arm though...I am guessing you will be fine.

Ive got Pacesetters with a TSP Y-pipe and a Spohn cross brace mounted torque arm. My Y-pipe clears the the torque arm, but is rattling against the driverside floorboard. I will have to get it adjusted or shove something under there so it wont move around so much.

you dont understand i dont have a bang, i have poly mounts, the exhaust is resting on the torque arm lol. when enough weight is in the car is moves the angle of the torque arm just enough so when you go over bump and stuff it will then rattle. the bend is too soon in the pipe i think.

I have the TSP y, the shop that installed it said they had to cut it up a bit to get it to fit.

Also, it bangs like hell when the car hooks at low speed, if I decide Im going to keep this car for a long time I'll prolly look into either replacing the Y or doing something to stop the banging.
