Long tubes with stock exhaust .?? Can it be done 99 SS. Zero mods
The car has a bad pass side cat ...
I have not been able to find a replacement cat ...
It's time to get long tubes and a ory I guess

I just did speed engineering 3/4s and ORY yesterday and it is slipped right in to my stock I pipe (stock SS catback). Used the stock clamp for the ORY to I. Takes some maneuvering and force to get it all lined up and slipped in, but it's a good fit.
I haven't tried to bolt back up the connecting body brace that's right at the I pipe connection, but I'm pretty sure it won't fit.

Would you buy the speed engineering again??
Any flaws or any thing you would have done different
What size do I want ??
May do a cam in the future but prob not much more than that ...

I ran this set up for a while and it was ok at moderate power levels. At higher levels like 400+ the cut outs are probably necessary. At the track, it'll stifle the car.
Pacesetters, TSP Y, stock cat back. It bolted together nicely.

With headers as long as you get a new Y it will all connect properly, unless you run a big outlet Y pipe. Then some adapting will be needed to connect the factory 2.75" size pipe.

BTW, it also sounds terrible. The SE stuff is great quality and price but the Y merge slams the exhaust together and creates a terrible reverberating rasp through the stock SS catback that makes it sound like you just got it off the blocks in your front yard.
I had a fuel tank shield rattle that made it worse. Got rid of the shield and it still sounds like domestic ricer garbage. Going tomorrow to do dual 2.5" over axle into separate muffs.

Have had Jet-Hot (=Hooker) LTs/ORY into the SLP CME
package I-pipe, and JBAs/Mufflex tubes / SLP ORY now.
No problems fitting the pipe.
ORY rasp I think comes from sloppy construction at the
merge. Seen some with really bad tube-into-tube and
tube stuck in 1/2", never cleaned post-welding. I spent
some time with a flex shaft tool and ball stone grinding
it smooth, up inside, and no rasp after that. Sounded
great through the CME exhaust. If you have rasp no
muffler will eliminate it, you have to kill the source.
