Anyone have pics of the redesigned y pipe intalled. I am trying to get mine installed and the y pipe portion is hitting everywhere. Can not get it aligned with the magna flow catback exhaust

The angle is the biggest issue. It is extremely tight trying to get crap to "adjust" off the collectors etc. My older TSP before redesign (they flattened the drivers side pipe and made merge section on less pipe) fit much better.

Looks upside down. Flip y the other way and I think the pipes coming off headers are wrong too. Can i get a couple more pics of the pipes from headers to the y

If i undo the passenger piece it will tuck up more level. You can not flip the Y over as it will not even remotely align with anything.

Yours appears to be "riding" above the tunnel brace... which mine must go under it as I have a short torque arm mounted there

Compare this pic to yours. Is your y pipe merge exactly like this for the pass side? See where I have it clamped?

The OLD design worked just fine with the tunnel mount brace. I only updated to the new design because i was redoing my whole exhuast from the headers back.

It looks like the TA mount is interfering with the Y. I dont have that issue because I removed the mount all together. You may need to get creative to get this to work.

Send pics to TSP today and call them first thing tomorrow and ask them what they have done for these torque arms mounts.

I got pics off to them and waiting for response. Worse case scenario is I can use the other tunnel mount brace that BMR made me in the past and lose the drive shaft loop for now.

Second option is new LONG style torque arm again however seems pointless to spend that money again as eventually I am going to redo rear end

Ya screw that I'd keep the torque arm and change exhaust. But let me know what they say I'm curious, I was contemplating getting a short arm as well. Cant remove the safety loop or you wont pass inspection at track.
