I dont think I found a clear answer on this when I did my searching:
What Y pipe offers the best ground clearance? Bumping probably wont be an issue because I already have poly mounts and a bumpstop (thanks to the TSP catted Y).

The Pacesetter Y is one piece right? Does it have good clearance? Any coke can pics (I know there has to be one somewhere)?

I am on a budget and clearance is my main concern. One day I will get custom 2.5" true duals. But for now I need to fix this worthless LM and keep it from falling off again due to a terrible fit with the TSP Catted Y. Any help would be awesome!

This is at stock height, Pacesetters,TSP Catted Y pipe and GMMG exhaust.

i think most y pipes are very similar, alot has to do with where your headers are. slp headers will keep the pipe lower, pacesetters, jet hots give a little better clearance. but id say you cant go wrong with the pacsetter.

The best fitting that i have seen is the kooks catted y. I had a custom modified one to contour to the bottom of my car and the kooks still had better clearance.

All i can say is wow. How did you get that kind of clearance out of your TSP catted y? Mine is also stock height and i have maybe 3/4 of an inch more than a coke can ON ITS SIDE on my drivers side. I have maybe 1/2 an inch to go before i hit the cross member.

Are there any pics of the PaceSetter Y installed?

Im suprised your tsp y has great clearance.

That is really good clearance. You got a 4x4 or something? But my Kooks has nearly that kind of clearance. I can get the whole pop can under the Y, and it misses going under the cat just barely.

all of them suck, I have pacesetters and they scraped, now that I lowered y car they scrape everywhere. Get a Torque arm and true duals so you can tuck them up.

The new pacesetter y pipe is two piece, right? Are there any pics of either of them installed?

Mine hit the floor board. I went to the tsp true duals because of the clearance issue, it was hitting the floor board.

The Jet hot has the tightest under carraige fitment I have seen.

Here's my pacesetter headers and pacesetter ORY.

Sorry no pop cans in these pics

I dont have any side shots with the suspension loaded but I never scraped the Y pipe on anything. As you can see the droped down crossmember from the Spohn TA was not needed, even with the strait crossmember I would have had approx. 1" clearance for the I pipe.

I dont think its possible to have more clearance than with the Jet hot Y.

Thanks guys. This is awesome! The new pacesetter exhaust is two piece, right? Id love to see a coke can test done on the old one piece y pipe.

The one I had was two pieces. It tucked up too much it was like a 1/4 inch from the floor board and when I accelerated the pipe beat the crap out of the floor board.

I cant stand those conventional exhaust clamps anymore. Why do you bother with those pinching pieces of garbage? Why not just get a SS band clamp and wrap foil around the seam, creating a leak-less system.

Is that crossmember really even necessary? My mechanic took out the stock piece for more clearance on the I-pipe. Do I need to buy one?

Well I ordered a Hooker CB (to replace the LM) and a Pacesetter Y. I will be sure to post up some pics when I get them both on. Is there much rasp associated with the pacesetter Y?

I hope this was a good decision, lol. I guess if I dont have to worry about my LM and all 19 joints and clamps coming loose any more then I will be okay.

Poly mounts and a bumpstop... I guaruntee it will still bang... just because its on MY car
