Catted Y for pacesetter LT's?
Catted Y for pacesetter LT's? Anyone know where I can get a catted Y pipe that will work with pacesetter LT's? I want to stick with high flow cats when I do my LT's but the only thing I have found that includes LT's, cats and a Y is a jethot setup thats 920 bucks....
thanks for any help

they sell a complete pacesetter header/catted y-pipe combo for 700 bucks. if you want to buy the y-pipe separately for 350 bucks. it's not the pacesetter y-pipe, it's made by texas speed (pipe individually is found on page 2, TSP catted y-pipe). generally, the pacesetter y-pipe is junk. the one sold on these pages is of better quality. hope this helps.

thats a pretty good deal...awesome. Also i saw that without cats the setup is only 500 bucks...
how much of a difference in performance will i get with offroad vs. catted....one of the reasons i want cats is cause of the sound. I currently have a loudmouth but when i do my LT's and y pipe I want to get a GMMG. I heard a TA with GMMG catback, longtubes and cats and it sounded so badass....thats what I want, lol

Man If you havent heard lts/catted-y/lm you might want to try that first and if you dont like it then sell the lm and get the gmmg, but im telling you I have that setup right now and it sounds sick IMO. GMMG is badass but you could get an entire cam kit (cam/springs/pushrods) for the price of the GMMG.

btw, I already have a cam...lol, just waiting on the springs and retainers before i can install it
i heard a couple LM clips on ls1sounds with cats and LT's and I liked it but I guess i will see how it sounds in person. I will go with the catted Y and pacesetter LT's and see how it sounds, if I dont like it I will just get a muffler or a new catback.

I have pics of the Pacesetter/TSP catted Y/LM combo on my site. I like the way it sounds. I is LLLLLLOOOOUUUUDDD though, so be prepared! I didnt really think it was much louder at first, and inside the car it isnt really. I swaped cars with a buddy one night and WHOA! Mine sounded like a monster from behind!

HOLY CRAP
I been wanting to say that for like forever......Plus call me weird, but i also like to keep my **** somewhat environmentally friendly. AND YES almost EVERY exhaust system for F-bodies were designed with cats in mind
