I'm curious as well...possibly the best Y-pipe out there is the Mufflex or QTP style (non 'crimped' tubing with a Flowmaster merge collector), wondering if anyone has matched that up to Pacesetters yet.

the pacesetters are unlike the rest of the crew (hooker/slp) where they are smashed to not drag on speed bumps, but the center-most pipe is offset so you cannot use any other y pipe that i've seen with it.

Best to stick to true duals, deal with the REALLY Crappy pacesetter Y or find some other header choices imo.

i would have done hooker all the way if i had my head on str8 when i bought.
