I was skeptical at first, but I got the SE 1 3/4 inch race headers and off road Y installed today, these headers have excellent fitment. Car put down 351rwhp/365rwtq with the converter locked after the tune, everything else stock other than a lid.
Only problem was that the Y pipe was touching the floorboard in one spot over by the drivers side headers, but that was dealt with fairly easily with a little modification to the Y. Definitely would recommend these to others.

This makes the headers more difficult to take out, but nothing on my car was banged on or notched so I'm fine with it.

I didn't do it but I ended up having the portion of the Y that was hitting flattened down a little. Then it was welded to the drivers side header so it would be flush and wouldn't leak. So, the drivers side section of the Y pipe and drivers side header are now one piece, costed me like $80.

Not sure if you saw the link on the other page, but you have this option as well. Mufflex makes a kit:

Problem is my Y section under the drivers side is about an 1/8" apart from one another.
Unless this alleviates that too. I'll look into it.
Unfortunately when i installed the Y pipe my rear sway bar was hitting my cutout and it gave us a false clearance. In the air there was an inch or more but on the ground it was touching the floorboard.
I need to pull the catback again and see if I can twist those sections for more clearance. With the cutout off I will have an idea of what's really going on
Thanks again

I'm hoping within a couple of weeks. Interested to see what the clearance is like with such large primaries.
No problem, looks like a good product. Hopeful the clearance is good and hopefully what you guys say about Pacesetter 3" Y pipe fitting is true cause I bought one lol.

When installing the headers and matching y pipe, which gaskets will I need to purchase extra other than the actual exhaust manifold gaskets? Is there a flange between the long tubes and the ypipe that requires a gasket? What about between the y pipe and the catback, is a gasket needed there? Does the speedengineering package come with the required gaskets for these points?
I am hoping of doing the install tomorrow.
Am I dreaming when thinking this will take around 6 hours as a first timer on a stock car, or should I expect it to take way longer?

Took me and a couple friends about 10 hours but the install included motor and tranny mounts, plugs and wires. Plus some trouble shooting at the end.
Just the headers and Y maybe could do in 6 hours, everyone's car is a little different. GL

Get em tuned or deleted like said. With Off Road Y pipe you only use the fronts.
You need longer 02s(rear vette), extensions or swap pins in PCM(if you're up for a little different approach).
