you really have to twist and turn move it up and down bang and all that **** to get it on there.. if you just kinda mach it up there it wont work.... you have to put it together piece by piece, cant do it with the y connected already... it's kinda pain, at least it was for me..

I have the TSP ORY and Pacesetter LT's. This is my 2nd Y pipe and honestly I don't think any Y-pipe will fit perfectly. I had to take mine to a muffler shop so they can do subtle changes to make it fit perfectly. Now its tucked up pretty good too.

Hooker LTs and a TSP Y??

I thought the TSP Y only worked with TSP headers and Pacesetters?

Hell I didnt have any problems with the last 3 I've put on and they were all matched with Hookers. The only problem I had that really wasnt much was mating one to a borla catback. I had to cut 4" off the i-pipe and it fit like a glove after that. Guess I was lucky. Now the one I put on mine had to be modified due to my tunnel mount T/A but not much.
