installed pacesetter LT's and ORY this weekend That was a pain in the *** but I managed to get it done, I'm surprised at how loud my car is now. I've got the factory catback with the muffler and it's still way to loud and raspy. I guess it would be smart to put some high flow cats on the car to quiten it down a little. Also has anyone had problems with the y-pipe vibrating and making all kind of racket under the car? This is annoying as hell, I've removed the passenger side heat shield to do some clearance cutting but it acts like it's hitting the rear crossmember. I can get under the car and shake the y-pipe but it doesn't move. The car responded well to the headers though, it will NOT get traction from a 30mph roll anymore. I can set the tires up in smoke with little effort.

. get it taken care of though cause the noise could trigger the knock sensor and retard your timing and rob you of hp. i just installed mine this weekend too. i got mine from BYUNSPEED. they are a sponsor and great to deal with. i got mine for coated with the Ory for$525 shipped.i am going to have to get the mufflex y pipe hanger though. i had it with my macs y pipe and it never banged.

Guess I'll make myself a mount to solve that annoying vibration, I custom made the O2 wiring harness and it works great so I've been lucky saving money so far..
