Default Least Expensive ORY? (Pacesetter LT's)

I'm sure this topic has been run into the ground but I really couldn't find any specific posts for the least expensive ORY that will fit a set of Pacesetter LT's. I am on a tight budget for sure and need a good y-pipe but can't afford too much because every dollar counts. I will most likely have to get it welded on anyway because I have a custom 3" exhaust on the car already.

Any suggestions on what I should do? I would do true duals but I need it to exit all the way out the back and I do really like the sound of the Hooker on there right now. I guess the fitment of the y-pipe won't be too big of a problem because an exhaust shop will have to weld it on there anyway. What do you guys think?

Hooker ORY. By far fits the headers the best and does not bang the drivers side floorboard at all Night and day. I had the pacehitter Y pipe.

I love the TSP, yeah it was a pain in the *** thats for sure. But you cant beat the price, plus its pretty adjustable.

So the Hooker Y-pipe will match right up to the Pacesetters? I can't searching about this in threads and some people said it did and others disagreed. I didn't know what to believe.

My Pacesetter Y fits perfect for the 119.00 I paid and I used the mufflex bump stop bracket around the Y. The only place I have some touching now is in the rear section of the GMMG exhaust and the heat shield.

TSP is pretty cheap, I don't like the merge though.
Lot of sharp edge protruding into the Y and looks
like it's prone to encourage reversion rather than
exit. I've been grinding on the inside to clean it up,
probably got an hour into it with 1-2 more to go
using a caride ball burr and a flex shaft. Figure I
will also be doing a little sledgehammer clearancing
when we get to actually fitting up the Y.

Somebody needs to sell me a used Jet-Hot Y with
blown cats.
