Default Kooks catted Y-pipe

I have Kooks headers and I'm lowered. Right now I just have a Hooker ORY. I want to get Cats on my car and didn't know if anybody is running this setup. I want to get a kooks y-pipe for optimum fitment and did not know how much lower the cats hang? I dont want to spend all that money and bust the cats on the road. What do you guys think?

if you get pypes mini cats which i dont really see much else fitting in a ORY they will take away i believe 1/2" of clearance (4" cat on a 3" pipe= 1/2" added on to any point of the cicle) at the most really.. thats what i am doing tomorrow hopefully

Mine doesn't look like I lost any clearance at all, the Kooks catted-y I mean. No pics though. I am lowered as well.

Same here, I lost maybe 1" if that, over stock. Mines lowered only an inch but I have plenty of ground clearance

I think I gained a little bit with the Kooks Catted Y. Here are some pics from my install. I could fit an entire pop can underneath the pipe, and it just missed going underneath the cats. -->

I have not had any clearance issues with mine. I have not hit anything yet that I would not have hit when stock.

well.. i went to the shop and he said they werent gonna work because they would be touching the fuel lines.. i can vouch for that because i was under there looking at it with him.. so now he wants me to get these cats that go inside the pipe from jet hot.. or i really need to figure out how to move these fuel lines...

I'm not lowered, but I did not lose any clearance with mine.
