pacesetter y pipe... Hey guys I got me a set of pacesetter LT headers and now I need to get a y pipe. I'm not real sure where the best place is to buy it from though. Any of you had any luck with the sponsor "Speed Tweekerz" ? They have it right now for 129 free shipping. sounds like a hell of a deal I just wanted to make sure they were legit.
Thanks

If you need a Y-pipe, I would look at the upgraded version of Texas Speeds Catted and Off Road Y-pipes.
Here is a link to the catted version.

They also have an ORY (without the cats) that is built with the same Flowmaster Merge for $129.00. I believe that doesn't include shipping, but if I were you, I'd give them a call and see if they could hook you up with a deal. The TSP Y's are definitely better flowing exhaust than the Pacesetter ORY.

It can be hit or miss with fittament on some cars. Who knows why,TSP's mate up the majority of the time with no issues. Sometimes the best route is to have a shop fab one for you that will work without a doubt. $129 seems like a solid deal though.
I would opt for a custom piece. The Pacesetter is decent, I've had it on for 3yrs but I will change it out eventually for one with the Flowmaster merge. If you have a good shop it won't cost much more to do and can be better fit to your car. Plus it will help eliminate some of the drone and raspiness.
If you buy the TSP Y-pipe, go ahead and find yourself a local muffler shop to flare the 2 pipes that connect to the header collectors. 19 out of 20 of those I install, require flaring to fit. Especially if the headers are coated.

There's really no exhaust shop I would trust around here to make a custom y pipe. And I really don't want to have to modify a y pipe just to fit over my headers. I have pacesetter headers so I feel I need to get a pacesetter y pipe. I just wanted to see if anyone had bought from Speed Tweekerz. I'm sure if they are a sponsor they would be fine to buy from.
Thanks

We have had our Catted-y pass on customers cars in CA so I don't see why it wouldn't pass a visual inspection in TN.
We recently redesigned both our ORY and Catted-Y's to have both better fitment and a smoother merge. The merge alone is a big improvement IMO. At the same price of the Pacesetter and more adjustability it is a very nice addition to their headers. I have installed several of our y-pipes on customers cars without a problem. The headers are a little snug on coated headers but nothing too crazy and I will take the snug fit over exhaust leaks any day.
If you are set on a Pacesetter ORY we have them on the shelf as well and can ship today!

not to hijack but jon what y pipe would you recomend for a 3.5" collector, its on edelbrocks stepped headers, edelbrock makes a y but it goes right back down to a 3 inch like 3 inches in...
For something like that you would probably have to have a custom one made at a local shop. I dont know of any sponsor or shop that has those on the shelf.

PS. It would be awesome if you put your 1 7/8's f-body headers/Y-Pipe combo on sale for tax time. Maybe free shipping or something
I'm gonna see if I gain any lost power I have through my 1 3/4 Pacesetters and TSP catted Y-Pipe. I think I should be able to pick up a few ponies. 
I had to do that with the Pacesetter Y as well.
