Default qtp y pipe

I just bought a used qtp dual cutout y pipe and have pacesetter headers and wanna know how difficult it will be to make the y pipe fit. Will I need to take it to a shop, or how much work will be involved?? I have hand tools and access to air tools, so will it be difficult or no?? What is involved in making it fit?? Thanks

It may very well fit fine unaltered.
Take it to a good exhaust shop and have them place it in. If there is any altering necessary, they'll have the knowhow as to how to make it work (cutting/bending./re-expanding any pipe necessary).

Let us know how it goes, many of us I'm sure are very curious.

hard to say, seems like each y-pipe will fit in a more easy/difficult way. I have done identical setups before and one was easy and one was a huge pita.

sorry i havent responded to this thread yet. I am getting the y pipe either at the end of this week or next week, so I will take a look at it soon hopefully. I will be doing the install with a buddy of mine I think, and if we cant do it I will take it somewhere to get done. I'm not sure of how much it would cost for them to put it on there. Anyone have any guesses as to how much it may cost for them to put it on??

qtp should sell the pieces needed to make their y fit to pacesetters

i'll try and take some pics of it when it gets installed and tell you how long it took and what it involved. I hope it wont be too difficult because I dont have the most patience.
