What brand off the shelf OR y-pipes fit Pacesetter LT headers w/o any modifications, excluding the Pacesetter y-pipe?
What is everyone using?
Thanks

TSP ORYP here...bangs like a ****. Ended up cutting the corner off the X member where it was banging. If you get it, paint it black cuz it sticks out like a sore thumb and hangs low. I'll probably end up with duals. If you can afford it I would go that route.

Why are you excluding the Pacesetter Y?

That is what we have, after a little cleaning up it was okay. Although a PITA to get on... Sawzall took care of that!

TSP ORY, the driver side hangs down like a bitch but I've just learned to ignore it.

Painting it flat black doesn't hurt either.

If you are looking for a cheap y pipe then I would just get the pacesetter. If you grind off the extra metal from the merge inside its a pretty good y pipe. It has the best clearance of any y pipe you can find due to the frame clearance areas on it. The TSP y pipe sucks. It doesnt have a merge at all. The driver pipe just goes in to the side of the passenger pipe. The hooker should fit fine too. I would get pacesetter and port the inside 1st and the Hooker second. You best flowing y pipes are gonna be the mufflex and the qtp but they are over 300 bucks.

when you get it look down the y section and you will see that where the pipes merge they made the cut in the outer pipe too small which blocks the flow of the exhaust what i did with mine was use a dremel to grind down the pipe so that the pipe wouldnt be blocking the flow of the exhaust. Thats only one reason i didnt like the pacesetter y pipe it also would bang like hell against the body, drove me nuts untill i finally got rid of it.

My TSP ORY wasn't bad at all quality wise. I guess I was part of the lucky ones.

Pacesetter y-pipe here, just finished putting it on today. Had to have a muffler shop bend the driver's side pipe just a hair to fit it, I've only heard it knock the floorboard once (hard on gas in a turn). No knocking straight line.
