the cam is an excellent street cam. can barely even tell the car is cammed. the car is alot louder though, and i love it. power is real good. right from 2000rpm till redline. it pulls infinite times better then the stock cam.

Um yeah, guess I was just wondering how you could comment on fitment(on the car) - when it's sitting in your closet...

Just asking a question dude - no need to roll your little smiley eyes at me.

It's a good quality piece... however, had a little trouble getting it to fit the older style Pacesetters, and it didn't fit well with my BMR driveshaft loop (had to sawzall a piece off of the crossbar section of the loop so it wouldn't bang). Overall though it is MUCH better than the Pacesetter ORY that I had before... that thing banged all the time.

It does fit a little differently once it's on the car... it was hard to get it all jostled into place because the header collectors point off in different directions, the i-pipe section was a little too long, the y-pipe hung a little too low in the wrong spot for the driveshaft loop, etc.

It isn't a simple "plug-in-play"... required a little bit of patience to get it all on there correctly and so it wasn't making contact with anything.

My experience as well. Most notable on the one I installed was how the Y into the I ended up pointing down. With my chassis lift, where the rear/torque arm hang, it compounded this problem since the drivers side cat was into the TA pretty bad. Probably not as big of an issue with a jack on the rear or a drive-on lift.

amit - good luck with your install.

Also - check first if the Y collector will slip over your header collectors. I couldn't get the one I had to do this - on brand new coated Pacesetters. Had to have the Y collectors 'swedged'(enlarged) some to slip them over the headers...

I have the TSP Catted Y, I had to get the pipes swelled so that would fit over my Hooker Headers, I really do not like the ground clearance... My lowest spot is about 6 inches from the ground, if I could do it again I would look for a different Y Pipe or get a custom one made...

My piece of advice when doing a header/Y install.....do the plugs too while you're in there.
