Default pacesetters LT's, TSP ORY and flow masters

I've been wanting to put Lt's on my car for a while now, and now that ive saved the green im going ahead with this project. I'm pretty much a nu b so i have a couple of ??? i have an 01 z28 with flowmasters, as far as the ory, ory has no cats right?? does the ory hook up dirrectly on to the flowmasters?? i plan on installing this my self with a few friends. before you go on tellling me to ditch the flowmasters....i dont really have the cash to buy a new cat back..so they will have to do for now. i checked out sl1sounds and the flowmasters with the ory and pacesetter LT's sounds pretty decent. IM will be odering the regular Lt's not the race style ones, so i know that i will need extesion as well.

Don't know about the ORY bolting up to the flowmaster, it should. If not though you'll just hafta head over to a muffler shop and shell out maybe $30. And yes ORY has no cats. I ordered the LT's non-race, but decided I was goign to go ahead and delete the damn EGR & AIR anyways; since how they clutter the hell out of the engine bay and it's practically free.......plus you loose some weight. Oh and good luck getting the TSP ORY, I called and they said they were on backorder.......my Pacesetter ORY is on backorder from Speed Eng.........sux. Also don't waste your money on extension's. The Pacesetter's comes with the wires to extend them yourself, it's not all that hard and if you don't feel confident with a solder gun, you could just crimp it.

I am getting the same cat-back, just got it today. I have a laundry list of priority parts (overheating problem probably the thermostat) to get in tonight. I did my own pacesetters and they connect right up to my SLP Loudmouth (LM). It took my buddy and i about ten hours on a saturday. They are still in as good a shape as that day and its been almost a year. I just wish I could have taken a look at the way the tips sit coming out the rear.
I want to sit straight out instead of angled down to the ground. I just got a ticket for my exhaust and since I have credit at Summit I order the Flowmaster setup cause it seems like a great deal for $300 bucks, the next system would have been $455, I'm sure my exhaust and tint tickets will equal the difference between the two setups.

If I where you I would order the extensions, the though of messing up the very simple wiring will be more then a headache then just getting the extension.

Before you guys go wasting hard earned money on Flowmaster catbacks why dont you read the stickies please. Do a search also.

I would recommend the Hooker or Magnaflow for budget catbacks. The Hooker can be bought for under 300 bucks. The Magnaflow for under 400.

Just swap your Flowmaster muffler with a Hooker muffler. I don't have the complete cat-back. Plus if your getting headers get the race style & have someone delete your codes.

I have been looking for a aeorchamber that I would be able to swap out with my flowmaster. I have the American Thunder system; it was on the car when I bought it. No luck so far.
