I took my header and Y-pipe off, and made a big crease in the floorboard with a bottle jack. Worked just fine

I tried everything and finally did something similar to above except i used a lift and a BFH.

i just got mine in the mail and i haven't been able to put it on. its a little harder to get on than i thought. you will have to take part of your y pipe off the header collector and the collector to slip it on. also i am having 02/plug issues right now and i gotta get it running right before i put the bumpstop hanger on.

When I had my WS6, I had a problem with the y-pipe banging on acceleration. Mine was so close you couldnt get a hand in between the pipe and the floor. I replaced the motor mounts and tranny mount and it fixed it. The car had more vibrations when I was at crusing speeds (65 - 85) but it wasnt bad.

i had the same problem with my S.W. ypipe and all i did was got some lowering blocks (or anthing thats kinda thick and metal) and put it between the pipe ad the floorpan and put a jack with a piece of wood on it and jacked up on the pipe it bent the top of the pipe down a lil like a crimp but not bad at all and solved my problems..i too was goin to do the poly mounts but was told by a couple of local f-body guys that you damn near have to pull the motor..a guy axually is in the middle of a motor swap told me it was a bitch with the motor out of the car so i said f that and bent the pipe...just my .02
