Default best y pipe for clearance??

i have the prokit springs on my camaro... hooker longtubes with tsp ory and i scrape over everything!!!.... im going to try messing with it one more time this weekend to get it tucked up but if i cant what should i change to? also, will be running band clamps for clearance whats a good company, summit sells them for quite a bit, noticed a couple sponsors selling some for a little cheaper but looking for decent quality... if i go with a new y i was thinking flowmaster merge and custom piping but not looking into investing a few hundred into a damn y pipe lol

I believe the Pacesetter ORY should fit on the hooker longtubes... maybe somebody can verify.

With the flattened portion on the drivers side it sits up pretty nicely.

I've noticed a lot of brand name and custom Y-pipes have that flattened portion on the driver's side. Why? I just got my ARH's and catted Y-pipe a few days ago. It's 3 inches through the whole Y-pipe on both sides and it doesn't scrape at all and I live in Louisiana.

You got a "custom" Y-pipe for $120? That's how much a TSP ORY cost. I would expect a custom one to be a lot more.

His exhasut pieces are prolly aluminized steel. I know when i was pricing my custom y, it was around 300, maybe less for T304 SS with all angles that i needed. So what i did was i got my hands on a Kooks y, cut off the merge. Added my SS pieces that i ordered, and welded on my flowmaster merge. Hence my custom Kooks y pipe
