Default 01 SS Y pipe question

I have a 2001 SS Camaro and I put on 1 7/8" headers with a 3" y pipe on it from Texas speed. The headers sound great but the y pipe hangs down way to far for my taste. It's literally just a few inches off the ground. I need to get a new one and was wondering what the best fitting y pipes are?

I just installed mine and it tucks up tight. The only issue I have is that the merge hits my driveshaft loop, which is getting fixed this weekend with a Flowmaster merge.

Have you gotten under the car and tried adjusting it? The short pipe on the driver's side makes for alot of adjustability.

how many miles are on your car? You probably should have done motor mounts at the same time to things up a little better then the worn out rubber ones.

The car only has 69K on it. I've gotten up under it and tried to adjust it. I've even taken it to a shop but it just hangs done more then i want it to cause i really want to bring the car down 1.25" and I just won't be able to get it with that y pipe.

It's a 3 inch diameter pipe. And one of the better tucking ones. Unless you go custom or oval pipe you aren't going to get anything drastically better
