Question SLP Y-PIPE (low)

Does anyone have a SLP y-pipe on there F-Body and does it scrape. I have longtubes and then high flow cats then my y-pipe. On the left side of the car, the tube comes off the cat and bends down a little bit giving me only about 2.5 inches of clearance...Did anyone do any mods to prevent this problem??? Thanks Jason

Damn, I wish I had your problem. Mines the exact opposite, my SLP Y-pipe rides the floor board.

Hi Jason
I have the SLP LT headers, Cats, and Y pipe. I had to put jacks under the system to keep it high while I tighten the bolts otherwise it would hang down low. I had to use two floor jack (did in my garage).
I hope this helps

When I had the SLP Y-pipe, the driver's side hung low as well. It would scrape over speed bumps.

Hell yeah, especially with flowtech cutouts......and an extra 400# stereo equip.
Honestly, even before my mods, I had scraping issues

(w/SLP level 1 Bilstein suspension) see pg (1) for exhaust pics, pg (4) for ground clearance
