Default ORY to accompany my QTP headers?

Ill be ordering my qtp headers and elec. cut out monday, now I need an ORY no cats.

I plan on doing a 2 inch drop with dms springs eventually. So ground clearance is important. And, I live on the water, so I'd prefer stainless.

I was going to get the kooks ory, but I'd have to get it coated, and I hear that may not hold up very well. This my daily driver, i live on the water, and have no garage . So whatever I get needs to be SS id imagine. Any input? Suggestions for a brand that will pair up wit the qtp headers and loudmouth?

Thanks for any help you can give!

The QTP y-pipe is the onlything that mates up to the QTP headers. Thats a bad *** y-pipe they sell, why run anything else.

I hear Kooks mates up fine. The only reason I might avoid the qtp Y is because I hear there are fitment and clearance issues with them, although I know its got a great merge collector and is designed very well, I dont want to scrape the **** out of something that expensive. So I'm doin some looking.

Anyone else have any input?

get the mufflex ORY, its the SAME EXACT Y for cheaper...trust me...P.M. if you have any questions, ill let you know more about it..

when you call them and talk to them about the Y make sure you tell them your putting it with a QTP setup so they add the "QTP fitment pipe"

Uhhhh, why not the QTP ORY that matches up perfectly to the QTP LTs? Its probably the best flowing Y pipe out there with the Flowmaster merge on it also. Mine fit perfectly and I absolutely love it!

I purchased the QTP's with the HVMC option AND the dual cutout y-pipe. IMO you shouldn't ever buy a pre-made y-pipe from anybody since the fit will NOT be ideal. The only way to maximize the ground clearance IMO is to go to a good exhaust shop and have one custom made to YOUR car. I basically wasted my $$ buying mine since it had to be completely re-done to maximize ground clearance on my slammed car.

Thanks Racehead, thats why I asked, because I heard of alot of clearance issues on slammed rides. I appreciate it, I gotta do a little hunting to find a good exhaust shop in the area. About how much u pay on your custom ory?

I'm having Speed Inc. custommake me a y-pipe to fit with my QTP's this week. It's costing me $400 for the piping, band clamps, and exhaust cutout welding in the I-pipe.
