Default Y pipe options for QTP

Im looking at getting the 1 3/4 QTP's with-out the HVMC and was wondering what my y pipe options are. Will the TSP catted Y pipe fit up to these headers? I find that 500 bucks for the qtp catted y to be too pricey.

I do not know if the tsp y will fit but you will not find a better flowing y pipe. Its worth the price IMO.

I got the ORY fit was bad. I had to a fair amount od fitting to get it tucked up so it would not drag. I would look a kooks i think they fit better. I like the QTP heqders.

The merge on the QTP Y looks sweet. The merge on
the TSP ORY I got, is nasty. It's a short segment so
you can see (on mine, anyway) that the pipe-to-pipe
cut-and-weld leaves one's edge sticking out into the
other's tube, one side looks like it will deflect the gas
back up the other side rather than out, etc. . I got
halfway through dressing this back with a rotary flex
shaft tool and burr (die grinder won't fit up there and
still let you see) but then I found a Jet-Hot Y (which
may or may not be better, but it's coated). So
between the two I could've just about bought a QTP....

Looks like Im just going to have to get one fabbed up in the central TX area. I cant believe no one has one that will basically bolt up to the qtp's. Im about to buy a set of hookers and say **** it.

why buy SS headers and they be cheap on a Y pipe? IMO, get the whole exhaust system in SS.
