Tsp Catted y pipe bad clearance? Im hoping someone can tell me what the deal is with my Tsp catted y pipe. I just installed that and pacesetter long tubes, everything else is stock and im really not happy with the ground clearance. Im hoping i installed a pipe at a bad angle. The problem is on the drivers side, something just doesn't look right Let me know what you guys think. Also if anybody has close up pictures of their TSP catted y pipe on the drivers side id really appreciate it.

I bet you could turn some of the piping and adjust it to fit a little better. I know the catted Y comes in the same sections I think that the ORY like I have, and mine is quite a bit closer to the body on the driver side. In fact at first it was TOO close, haha even with prothane motor mounts it banged the floor, and hit the torque arm.

i have the same exact problem on mine, im running hookers wit that same tsp catted y, and i hit everything too, im really thinking of ditching that pipe and running the off road y instead to get my clearance back

Damn man, looks like my LSXetreme headers and catted Y, god damn thing would drag on pebbles in the road, at stock ride height....I never did fix mine, but band clamps and some cutting may have...I notice your over the axle pipe hangs pretty low as well, mine did there too...best of luck.
I would check ws6store.com for some bandclamps.

I'm in the exact same position as you. The TSP catted Y-pipe is the biggest piece of garbage I've ever seen. I'm at stock ride height with LTs using band clamps and I have the same clearance as you. Not only that, but it fits like absolute garbage; I had to use a pipe expander just to get one of the pipes to fit over the drivers side header (Hooker LT's). I also had to unbolt my catback support bolt to push it back farther just to get the damn thing to fit together so now when I go over bumps my catback bangs around. I'll never buy anything from TSP again, this thing has literally caused me agony being under the car all the time trying to get the POS higher. I can't even get out of the driveway without scraping something. BUYER BEWARE- THIS IS THE CHEAPEST CATTED Y ON THE MARKET YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR

Hope you figure something out, seems like you should cut out the cats and merge pipe and go to a muffler shop and have em bend/weld something custom with better clearance.

One of the reasons I did not go with a pacesetter/TSP Y setup. That and insane shipping costs from TSP.

Yea mine seems a little lower than yours, i plan on seeing if i can adjust it a little more to tuck it up. What kind of tunnel brace are you running by the way i tried to put on my BMR one after the install but it wasnt even close to fitting.
