Default 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

Custom is by far the best way to do it. I had my current Ypipe built custom, and the fitment and clearance is absolutely amazing.

Get some poly motor mounts. You'll be able to run the y-pipe closer to the floorboard without having it hit.

You won't notice, most people say they make the car vibrate LESS.

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
