Default QTP y-pipe question......

I was just wondering cuz my headers and y-pipe are going on this saturday, what is the ground clearance like on the y-pipe with that 4 inch merge collector, it reduces back to 3, but where it mates to the y-pipe it's a big bastard.....just wondering if anyone has one and if they've had problems?

No problems at all with clearance in the Flowmaster merge area. The lowest point is off the driver's side header collector.

im going to have to agree with these guys, see if you can get your car on a lift so you can really get a hand on the pipes to get them as high as possible. goodluck man
