Default Tsp ory

I know I'm probably going to get the old "use the search button" response, however a lot of the searches are older and each one seems to go way off topic at some point. I want to know if anyone has recently installed a set of 1 7/8's TSP LT's and the ORY and how it was fitment wise. I'm seeing a lot of fitment issues w/ the TSP ORY (I do plan on swapping out to poly motor mounts fyi)

I am kinda of stuck between the ARH and the TSP, I know ARH's are better overall, but for about half the price it will allow me to go w/ a Magnaflow catback and ditch my flow master catback (which came w/ the car).

Which leads me to another question, switching from a flowmaster to a magnaflow on a stock car w/ only a full exhaust/intake and lid, would it be worth the money? I don't know what the future holds for the car, but no other engine mods are going to happen soon.

Thanks

I installed mine a few months ago. Headers are awesome, the y fits good except it vibrates on the floorboard slightly. I'm gonna tweak it a little and see if I can get it to clear any better. I lost some ground clearance compared to my old y but that's not a complaint for me.

This. I just welded mine up. Cut it up though and added a flowmaster merge. If i were to do it over id just have mine made locally with a flowmaster merge of your choice. Worth the extra $.

I had mine for 3 months before I got bad leaks and fouled out o2sensors. Weld it unless you want to deal with it having leaks later on. Get exhaust flanges if you want to keep it "bolt on"

So it seems like the ORY fits, but it takes some patience. That's cool, I'm having it installed at a shop, so they should be able to figure it out. They push ARH, but its so damn expensive.

It fits I had stock height with 17inch zr1 and bottomed out on everything and everything caused it too leak. Since I installed corvette c6 rims 19inch in the rear I barely bottom out now. Get it welded!
