So, you have to manually assemble the TSP y-pipe in pieces? Yay.

I'll be doing mine on a lift, maybe that will be of SOME help to trying to line this crap up. If nothing else, it'll be a nice time of getting out my frustrations on some pipes. :\

would the Coil Packs have anything to do with missing or knocking or pinging cause i took 3 off teh pass side and didn't know i could just take the rack off.....but i thought i but them bac in order....would that have anything to do it???
I just got the y pipe installed, fitment is descent, just a PITA to get right. We started at the headers and worked are way back. It bolted right up to the stock muffler. The only place that touches is at the torque arm. I guess you pay a price for a good tuck.

the ory probably has a thin seam on the inside of it that needs to be sanded or hit with a die grinder so it will be easier to adjust. try pulling one wire at a time off each coil you unhooked to see if it makes a difference or not.

the TSP Y pipe is better b/c you can adjust it more than the pacesetter Y pipe, its a good Y pipe just like everything else you do to your car such as wheels some people have to beat the fender well in and some dont, just like these Y pipes some have to beat the **** outta them to fit and some get lucky and no snags in the installation.

Well the misfiring seemed to stop on the 3 drive around the block so i gave it a lil hell and wow!.....it pulls hard for just an open y-pipe. next friday it gets the TSP tune. but do u think it was just the computer trying to re-learn itself?
