Default Kooks Y-PIPE

I just got my Kooks headers and Y- pipe and one side of the Y-pipe is slightly compressed instead of 3" round like the other side.I called kooks and they said it was for clearance and that they're stuff was still the best!

I have no problems with my Kooks Y. Other than the usual Y banging, but I bought the bracket that Mufflex makes from Thunder Racing and fixed that. The Y has to be a little smaller on that side or else it wont fit. Just wait til you get them on, WHAT A DIFFERENCE! They have been my best and favorite mod so far! I have a feeling you will like them too!

I have an ORY. Will that make a difference with placement and fit?
