Default Best Fitting ORY?

I just need some opinions as to what the overall best fitting ORY would be for my '00 TA. Which one flows great with a nice merge collector but also fits snug to the bottom of the car for best ground clearance?

I was looking at a Kooks ORY to go with Kooks 1 7/8 headers, but just want some opinions before I get it.

Thanks

I was running Pacesetter's 3" ORY and it was great for flow and ground clearance, I'm lowered 1 1/2"

A custom made one using a merge of your choice.

I've got the Pacesetter and while I don't have any ground clearance issues I have a lot of the usual banging and vibrations. Can't complain otherwise.

^ From what I've seen, the merge on the kooks Y isn't as good as it should be. The new TSP Y looks pretty damn good.

Ok, If I went with the ARH ORY, would it mount right up with the 1 7/8 Kooks headers and the Magnaflow catback? Or how much adjusting would need to be done?

Also, are Kooks 1 7/8 LT headers more desirable than American Racing's 1 7/8 LT headers? Or how do they compare for horsepower gains?

EDIT: I have been told that the TSP ORY is something to look into? Running only $130 with a nice merge collector design. What are opinions on it?

What makes you think one brand ORY is going to fit a different brand of headers. Do you think everyone makes headers exactly the same?

the time and money to make a diff brand ORY fit a diff header would best be put into a CUSTOM unit
