Default Pacesetter + TSP Clearence *Pics*

Hey guys, got done installing ceramic coated 1 3/4 longtubes and a TSP catted y pipe on my 99 trans am. Thought i would share some pics of the ground clearance they have. the install was extremely easy, they both slid right in with little to no work. These headers and y pipe are great quality, everything fit right together with zero problems. Total install time took about 5 1/2 hours really taking my time because i wasn't in a rush. I have the y pipe tucked up as far as it will go without it touching the torque arm and the ground clearence is ok, not great, but no bad considering im lowered on BMR springs, i knew what i wass getting into haha. Btw it sound PERFECTTT with my LM1 catback, has great tone, not to loud cruising around, no rasp at all, and sounds amazingg at WOT. Anyway heres some pics, feel free to ask any questions...

You have the exact exhaust setup as me. Your clearance is identical to mine. My bullet is the lowest part of the exhaust and i will be swapping it out for a sweet thunder. Looks good though.

thanks guys, the clearance really isn't too bad, it doesn't scrap at all when im driving... only when i pull in and out of my driveway because its on a huge angle that i cant avoid but overall im extremely happy with it plug it sounds amazing unlike the shitty ory rasp. The ceramic coating should stay like that because i only drive it on the weekends and never in any bad weather.

Very clean install, ground clearance isn't great but about the same as I have with my custom fabbed Y ... I very rarely have scraping issues, though.

Ground clearance isn't fantastic by any means on the catted Y version but TSP sells a VERY well designed Ypipe. I have been thoroughly impressed with them and the fact that they come with a high velocity merge makes them a winner.
