Default SLP 2 1/2" y pipe with Lt's?

Will the SLP 2 1/2" y pipe work with long tubes? I don't want to use the 3" because my SS is lowered 2" all around and long tubes and 3" y pipe on my ws6 is already a nightmare hitting everywhere and it's only dropped 1.25

You need to be more specific or careful. I have a SLP
2.5" Y but it's made to fit to manifolds/OE cats combo
and would not matge to any long tube headers out there.
Whether there's another 2.5" Y from SLP, I don't know
but have never seen.

And all that said, the SLP 2.5" Y hangs pretty low.
Almost as bad as the Jet-Hot Y I had, when the long tube
setup was on there. It's more about the overall geometry
than the tube diameter (which would account for only
0.5" after all). A bit of strategic dimpling might get you
what you need, on a 3" pipe - the close passes are at
the underbody sheet metal bosses for the most part,
and a little dimple here and there amounts to nothing in
the big picture. But the hammer work is on you.
