Default redesigned Pacesetters fit well

My friend just installed pacesetter LT's & 3" ORP this weekend (new batch). The fitment was alot better than when I did mine with the old design. No steering knuckle removed, and no K-member grinding. The y-pipe doesn't bang either.
I can honestly say the y-pipe is 100% better than mine was when I did mine 3 months ago. The headers tuck in nicely, not close to the k-member.
Pacesetter is the way to go now for budget if you get the new ones.

Do you think I would be able to weld in 2 magnaflow high flow cats on the ORY? Would I have any clearence issues? If I could, where on the pipe would you suggest placing the cats? Thanks

We have a handful of these new Pacesetter headers in stock ready to ship! All of the old ones are gone by now, so any new orders get the revised design. As always, feel free to call us or e-mail me with any questions you might have!

That would be a tight squeeze welding cats in the 3" Y-pipe. I'm sure it could be done though, especially with Random Tech metallic cats.
It does appear that the new y-pipe hangs alittle lower than the old style. My friends car is lowered though, and there's enough clearance still.

Can someone give me a rough diagram of where would be the best place to weld in 2 magnaflow cats on the new Pacesetter y-pipe?
