I love my S/S QTP LTs. however, in my opinion they have the worst y pipe i have ever worked with. both me and my friend bought QTP LTs and off road y pipe and we both had to rebuild the entire y pipe system. the only thing i could salvage was the flowmaster y collector. it hung so low driving the car became an annoyance more than anything....on a side note that spelling of annoyance seems very strang.

is your car lowered? mine ory hangs a bit low on the dirvers side. i've scraped it once on a large speed bump.

blackbird- if you can afford it get kooks/qtp lt's. they are both made of stainless steel and go in w/o any problems.

I have QTPs. No issues with the y pipe. I also had it installed on a lift so that is why i think it fit well.

Have you ever thought about getting a set of Lanes true duals? You shouldn't have any clearance issues with them.

I say flip a coin, heads for hookers, tails for kooks. Can't go wrong either way

as far as RWHP gain, i'd say average of 10-30rwhp to be gained. Maybe even more.
