+1 on that! I've been at it for 12 hrs now and I've got hung up on seperating the cat from the manifold on the driver side! Only 2 bolts broke!!! I'm right about to cut the manifold right above the flange.

I'm glad no bolts broke during my install. I think I'm going to sell this Pacesetter ORY. What Y-pipe would you recommend me?

The best route would be custom because no aftermarkey y setup is going to fit perfect. But if your looking for off the shelf I think tsp ory would be your best bet. Make sure you pick up some poly motor mounts if you haven't, you will thank me.

Me x 2, suprised no one said anything about the vette o2 sensors. Part # 13111 if I recall. They are long enough not to use extensions and are cheaper than the stock ones for the fbody. Have them on my 99 with no problems
