so i have a 3 inch x pipe system now with pacesetter headers. unfortunately, i decided I want an offroad y pipe instead. all i need is a ory and a catback system to have the exhaust be complete again, correct.
i read on the "sticky" that the pacesetter y pipe is a piece of crap. so what y pipes are you people running with your pacesetters? thanks for the help!

I had heard that the Pacesetter y-pipe was crap too until I help a friend put one on his car. It took a little work, and you had to do some twisting of the pipes to get everything to clear and tuck properly, but once done, it fit perfect.

I installed a Pacesetter ORY as well. It took a bit of twisting but it went on easier than my prior hooker lt's and hooker ory..

go to texas-speed.com They make an ORY to fit right up to the pacesetters and the quality is much better than the pacesetter ory, and a good price. No flat bends either.

It is best to have a y-pipe made. Nothing off the shelf is proven 100% to fit appropriately.

Yep, even the TSP y-pipe has reported fit problems.

zboner, that is exactly how i feel. i got mine up pretty high, but i want to lower my car and that means it's just gonna be that much closer to the ground. and yea, i think i want magnaflow also.

also, yea, i guess my stuff will be up for sale.
