I'd say TSP. Pacesetter is the cheapest, but it's a POS. I have a Pacesetter and I'm working on a replacement. The merge on it sucks. I've heard it's a contributor to rasp.

I say get you a flowmaster y collector and take it to a muffler shop and have it fabbed up

thats the cheapest and best

make sure to buy a 4" - 3" reducer to hook it up to your catback because most muffler shops cant expand up to 4"

Since I am familiar with both let me say this. The Pacesetter fits way better than the TSP ever will. The TSP probably flows a little better out of the box because there is some extra material from the merge inside of the Pacesetter. If you dremel out the merge inside then the Pacesetter is the better piece.

My Pacesetter and my 3" exhaust using a spiral flow muffler with a turndown at the axle will be available for sale mid next week. Look for it in the for sale section.

By the way, my Pacesetter merge has been ported.

I really like my TSP ypipe. Good clearance, fits well and judging by the looks, flows well. If you were to go with a Flowmaster collector, it would likely outflow the merge on the tsp ypipe, but unless we are talking about a serious blower setup, the tsp will flow more than most of us will ever need. It is also priced well. My vote...TSP.

Flowmaster merge likely outflowing the TSP is an understatement. The TSP pipe really doesnt have a merge. The driver driver pipe just goes straight into the side of the passenger pipe.

A Y pipe really needs to have a merge that gradualy straightens the exhaust.
