which catted y-pipe for lowered F-body
I did a search couldnt find a real definitive answer on which y-pipe to go with. car will be lowered about 1.5" w/ B+G springs, plan on getting LT's, debating on pacesetter or the edelbrock since the TI coating looks pimp. so which catted y should i go with that will get me the best ground clearance? TSP? Pacesetter? SLP? that doesnt require much banging.
thanks
thanks

agreed. i had the tsp catted y and then lowered my car. it was scary. lets just say it's now at mufflex awaiting a custom y.

I've seen some ppl that have done it, but honestly I don't know how.
I started a thread similar to this (https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=450388), check it out, and there's a link on one of the posts to a custom y that is BEAUTIFUL.
My advice is to take that pic around to local shops and see if they can do it. It'll cost a lil more, but it will fit ALOT better.
Just my $.02
