I don't mean to flame, but the first step most people take is to replace collectors (like the one shown) with a quality collector that merges the exhaust gases together with minimal turbulence and reduces the "rasp" associated with off-road y-pipes. The collector being used to modify the y-pipes is only about $35, so why don't any of you guys develop a y-pipe with a merge collector?
I personally am tired of going to these extremely crappy local muffler shops only to have them ruin the parts I ordered by cutting them up to make them fit on easier. You could save me as well as a lot of other people a lot of headaches by simply adding $35 to the price tag....why is that such a big deal? Again, not flaming...just curious why I have to put up with the corner moron when you guys could do it right the first time and save me the hassle?

The system will use carsound cats. We will probably presell a few of the cat Y pipes incase you guys are wanting one.

Besides most guys don't want merge collectors on their $300 headers ![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)

looks like a nice quality piece, but i agree with NOBR8KSS on the collector issue. seems the people who complain the most about there collectors are the pacesetter/jet hots guys. QTP has there catted Y w/ flowmaster collector but i sure as hell wouldnt pay the 500 bucks there charging. i think if you guys added the collector it would be the catted Y to get. just my opinion.

I guess that's true...you would have to have a 4" cat-back for the 3" inlet collector to mate up without an adapter. It makes me feel better to know that you are still working on that collector, cuz it reminds me of the Pacesetter y-pipe that many people have complained about.
Merge collectors on headers is a different story to me....I wouldn't want to spend the time/money dyno tuning the header length for a merge collector and then have it leak because of local muffler moron welds. It's just not worth it to me....but the y-pipe collector is definitely worth some research...JMO.

I gotta agree with Jason. Although collector would be a nice addition, most of the people here don't care for it. Afterall, those who get Pacesetters want cheap HP gain, with as little fitment issues as possible (so they can avoid going to local welding shops and spending even more $$$)
I know I want some cheap HP, and there's no way I'm spending $1200+ on bunch of freaking pipes....I'm hoping TSP's alternative (Pacesetters and catted Y-pipe) is gonna cut this cost in half.
Let's be realistic: How much gain is there with an addition of a collector on a ~400rwhp car ??? Not that much.....
When TSP comes out with that catted Y-pipe on Pacesetters, they'll have me as a customer for sure.....

I thought for sure this tread was going to stay at the top
I'm agreeing with the others with the collector issue. No rasp inducing collector please
What type of cats are those in the pic? Please update us
