Once getting the pipes together a chain/strap wrench would be helpful in orienting the pipe so that it clears on the driver's side floorboard and tranny crossmember.

Finally got that peice of **** together. Man that thing sux

It fits, I have the exact same set up as yours. Did it last friday. Only problem is that my Y pipe leaks, thinking about having it welded next week.

what a pos

i wouldnt reccomend that thing to anyone. we finally got the thing on but it hangs so low that it scraps on everything. i dont know if i got a bad one or not but the pieces were not the right angle or length. i know everyone says it is tough to put on and its just like that and everything but this was obviously not made right.

well it looks like time to fab up some true duals and trash that sorry y-pipe

WhitePheonix

It does hang low as hell, has anyone else had theirs welded?

i couldnt even go over the smallest speed bump i have ever seen without it feeling like my whole exhaust was gonna rip off

oh and i couldnt get the small crossmember back on

what did everyone else do about this???

its ok to leave your cross member off. thats what most people do. but yours hangs low? mine tucks up ferry nicely. you can rotate the pipe on the drivers side to adjust how low it hangs. i had more of a problem of mine hitting the bottom of the slore under hard acceleration.

Mine is as close as possible and still hangs low. Guys at Fastech trimmed part of the tranny crossmember to keep it from hitting the floor board. I also painted mine flat black to make it less obvious. Of course if it is banging the floor board and scraping on everything it's hard to be less obvious!

yeah we cant adjust it at all

the way we got it on was pretty much the only possible way we could get the pipes to connect

on my tsp ory the "y" thats welded together; the hole cut to weld them together is not as big as the other pipe so there will be a lot of turbulence and not free flowing, seems no better than the stock y pipe. i am gonna have try to reach inside there and use a metal file to file it down some, seems like a lost cause though.

WhitePheonix

Ditto on the speed bumps, now my driving consist of constantly monitoring speed bumps and dips in the road, the crossmember did not find its way back on my car.

so do you think if i get it all welded together by an exhaust shop it will be better or should i just save my money and get true duals fabbed up?

WhitePheonix

Im going to go to the exhaust shop and have it welded if my band clamps dont help with the leaks. I would hate to have it welded unless I have to because I think it would be harder to get on and off as one piece.

yeah i agree but i dont think im ever gonna take it off....at least not for a long time and then it would be because i would scrap it so i could just cut it up

WhitePheonix

What are the emission test like down here in NC, do they run the sniffer? Do you think you would pass with duals?

skywalkrNCSU

i have no idea what emissions are like in nc i get my car inspected in texas (its registered in san antonio and i go to school in raleigh). im not really worried about emissions i just want a good sounding, quiet at low rpm, no clearence issues exhaust

WhitePheonix

**** if you dont have to worry about it in Texas go with true duals.
