Default Just got my TSP ORY! Merge pic inside. Documentating my install process.

Didn't find any good pics online of the inside of the merge so i decided to snap a pic.




Sorry for the cellphone pics.



FINAL UPDATE:

To sum up the TSP ORY, it is nice quality, but the way it fits is ****, and the clamps they send with it are garbage. IMO, to be able to get the ORY on properly and effectively you NEED to consider taking it to get welded. If you don't mind grinding your passanger side header or getting it welded together then i def recommend it, if not then this is not the ORY for you.

Are you going full duals then? If you have access to a mandrel bender it would be worth the extra money IMO, although it is a pretty tight fit over the drive shaft.

That TSP merge is awesome, had I kept my car I would have replaced the Pacesetter with it. The merge on the Pacesetter is a joke, it has to be the worst merge I've ever seen, while the TSP is easily one of the best.

I would like to but for $$$$ reasons I'm going to stick with the slp lm1 for now since the swap and tune will eat most of my currently tight budget. I know the custom y-pipe will cost extra but the one I have now rattles like crazy and its driving me nuts!!!!

I just bought a 3in in 4in out FM Merge & a 4in DMH Cutout (a budget version of patrick g's setup). I cant wait to get it installed. My Hooker y pipe has a god awful merge and sounds like **** at certain rpms....

The TSP merge on their y pipes is beautiful, however trying to get the thing to fit on headers was terrible...so I returned it. I wish I could have used it as it was tremedous pipe work lol.

Mine went together flawlessly, and tucks up nice. Strange. My only gripe was that I wish it came with band clamps. I had mine welded up

Yeah your lucky lol i was outside for about an hour trying to grind down the collector enough so it could slid into the y pipe. It slides in now but still needs a bit more work, getting another bit tommorow to get at it some more.

Here are some pics

So far that's not to bad and once your hear those long tubes singing through that bullet muffler you will forget all about this little stuff.
