Also please update the pics on the site, I think it shows the same pic for both the ORY and the catted one.

DAMN, I was hoping for a better merge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks like i'm gonna hafta go with a custom made y-pipe.

Well, I finished my heads/cam/headers install yesterday and snapped a few pictures of the catted y on the car. I plan to recheck all the header bolts next weekend on a lift, and I'll be able to snap some better pictures. But for the time being, these will have to suffice.

Overall, the thing fits very well. I was very surprised. The heat shield on the driver's cat is a little close to the fuel lines and the torque arm. As a matter of fact, after driving it a little, my torque arm has already made the necessary "adjustments" to the heat shield to get it to clear. I still need to ask TSP what they think about the fuel lines. But it doesn't bang or rub anywhere else. I did need to put some heater hose tape on the passenger heat shield because the shield looked like it would bang the header (Pacesetter) if I didn't. I did lose a little ground clearance, but I expected that.

By the way, I didn't get any instructions or markings either, but Jason described it to me over the phone and the picture on the first page looks correct.

Oh, and another thing I should mention is that whatever driveshaft loop this is doesn't fit anymore. Gotta find me another somewhere.

Fantastic pics! They really show ground clearance.

Nice Pics. Do you think this Y will work with the Lakewood DS loop?

That's the one I was going to investigate a little more. I had actually tried it before, but it didn't fit with the stock setup. I can't remember why though

I think the Lakewood may not have cleared the stock y. Since this one hangs down lower, it should be no problem (assuming that was the reason )

the clearance is good and the cats arent too much bigget than the pipes

That loop looks like the Granatelli one.

Hows the merge look on these Y pipes?

i was also thinkiing of goin TSP, but i just found out i may be able to get JetHotts Y, and i was wondering if it would fit with my Pacesetters too, since the TSP said it fits JHots, PaceSetters and Hooker? so if anyone knows hit me up.

Sanders, my last post on Page 1 has pics of the Y with two showing the inside of the merge.

I like the fact it comes in sections like that, couldn't tell from the picture on the webpage. I was planning on running no cats but want to have the option to pop em back in for emissions testing. Looks like it shouldn't be too hard to make a couple straight pipes to replace those cats.

I'd be interested to see someone pass a smog test with this Y-pipe.
I know it should be ok but I have heard of cars with aftermarket cats failing.

For anyone that is interested I just installed headman headers and used the TSP y pipe for them. It worked well but the collector flanges are different. I just cut the end of the y pipe off and welded the headman flanges on. I also had to make more clearance on the driver side because the headers are closer to the floorboard than the Pacesetters or Hookers. The TSP y was good quality for the price.

Ground clearance looks pretty good Are there O2 bungs?

Joseph, will these clear the Kenny Brown Double Diamond subframe connectors (KBDD SFCs)? If not, can I modify the sfc's to have this y-pipe fit?

Does this Y-pipe bang the floor on hard acceleration like some of the other ones I've heard of? Mine is scheduled to be delivered today; I just wanted to know so I could make the necessary "adjustments" when I install it.

Only O2s are the ones in the headers before the cats. No rears - had them deleted.
So far, I have not noticed any banging (and I have definitely run it hard ). The two places I mentioned before (passenger heat shield and torque arm) would be the ONLY two possibilities for rubbing/banging. I modified the heat shield some to minimize it banging on the header. It clears the y-pipe. And it looks like after going over a few railroad tracks that the torque arm has already made the necessary "adjustments" to the cat heat shield for me.

I plan to get it up on a lift this weekend to re-check header bolts and fix some minor exhaust leaks, and I'll snap some better pictures while I'm there. I'll get some that show how much my SFCs clear. They're not DDs, but more like single diamonds. The only difference between mine and DDs is mine do not have the 3rd (rear) cross-brace going to the tunnel brace. I would think the fronts would be the same. Or at least so similar it would be scary.

I'll post in here when I get the new pictures.

Cool, would be great to see pics with the sfc's. Are they slip-fit on the headers?

-Q-

I know this is going to sound stupid, but do you have to run O2 sims on all catted Y pipes? I didn't realized these Y's weren't bunged for rear O2 sensors.

You will still need o2 sims on just about any good high flow cat setup. Even in testing with o2s the cat systems were still throwing codes. I guess the cats flow pretty well if it's throwing codes

ALL TSP exhaust components are on special next week
