Default For anyone that bought the BBK LTs and ory.....

I bought BBK LTs and ory and i was noticing something, in the pictures, it looks like the y pipe itself does not look like it goes all the way back to the cat back. So my question is - is this true ? or does the y pipe in fact go all the way to the cat back? Dumb question i know, just trying to plan ahead a bit on my install of my LTs.

Yup ill take it being a little short than fighting it to get the headers to fit like most other brands lol. Bbk still has the best fitment I've seen.

As far as the y pipe not fitting with the cat back all I did was get. 3" id/od coupler and it worked perfect.

Geez sorry guys, I actually didnt update thus thread! My fault lol so heres an update - I installed my lts and ory and yes it was a hair too short but the 3" id/od piece from AutoZone was what we went with. Everything worked out perfect but the driver side header hits the floor board and I might have a small exhaust leak somewhere so ill take a look at that next weekend, but it sounds awesome!! You know your car sounds good when your mom says "it sounds like a real muscle car now" hah! Thanx for the input guys, im glad I wasnt the only one who ran into the problem of the y pipe being slightly short.
