Default PaceSetters Are On

They look great and the install wasnt that bad.
On the drivers side I opted to trim the stub sticking out at the back rear of the block with a sawzall. After that it slipped right into place. Passenger side was a breeze no probs.

The drivers side was hitting the k-member so I used a 1/4 in bit in a die grinder and made a 1/4 gap between them.

Before tightening the clamps for the Y-Pipe I pulled down a few times on the drivers side to give it more of a gap.

I highly reccomend putting Poly motor mounts in for sure and you wont have any hitting issues.

The Y-Pipe came with flat spots on the top for more clearance on the drivers side, it worked nice

I dont have any pics of them installed yet but I will get them somtime for yas

We just got done installing mine a little less than an hour ago, everything went pretty smoothly execpt we had to do a little bit of grinding on the driver side b/c the header was rubbing. Only thing i need to fix is the y is banging a little where it is flattened... otherwise it was relatively easy. They look great too!
