Default Installing LT's, ORY soon - questions.....

I am installing a set of Jet Hot LT's with a Jet Hot ORY pipe as well - my question is this - I just bought this camero and think that it has been lowered, seems a little low to me anyways. I am concerned that when I install this ORY it will hand down too low - it is a 3" pipe all the way around and will be way larger than the pos stock ypipe that already is hanging a bit low.... Anything I can do about this? Are there stock height aftermarket springs out there? Any help would be appreciated - thanks - stevet

Keep it lowered, you'll be fine. Just make sure you tuck the Y up there good.

It is much easier to use the Y Pipe that is made by the same brands of headers. A muffler shop made Y Pipe is most likely to be made without using mandrel bent tubing, meaning you might have some restriction in there. The Hooker and Jet Hot headers tuck up really good, and their Y Pipes will not pose a problem on lowered cars. Bob
