you might need more band clamps depending on how many pieces your y pipe comes in. My ORY came in 2 pieces but my buddies TSP Catted y came in like 4 or 5 he said
alright, i'll have to check into that. Also wondered what clamps are the best to get, any real difference in brands? And does anyone have a link to an install of poly motor mounts (with pics if possible), I read a couple threads and some say it's easy while others claim its a PITA.

You really only need regular exhaust clamps for the y-pipe. TSP sent all the clamps i needed with mine. I tack welded all of my connections also though, i had the y pipe pull out of the header one night coming out of a parking lot when it dragged.
I just posted a very detailed write up for poly motor mounts. No pics but its detailed enough that you should be able to figure it out without pics.

i used the bolts that came with my pacesetters, they looked WAY better than those stockers....also...the gaskets are good unless you have a shitpot full of miles on em...then just change em...i had 18kmiles on my ride when i installed headers, no probs
LOVE EM!!
peace
I just got done installing a set of the headers from ebay that has everyone talking and they really weren't to bad. I bought new gaskets reused stock bolts
new plugs NGKTR55 new MSD 8.5 wires and new O2's for piece of mind knowing I shouldn't have to do that job again any time soon. I also noticed that the SX headers air and egr tubes are not going to fit a 2000 car as the tubes are bent for the 98-99 emissions. So with that in hand I cut the tubes off (they could be capped) welded the holes shut and removed all of the emissions stuff (EGR AIR PUMP) and since the egr is not going back on I have to do something with the big a$$ hole in the intake. I would also get 24" O2 extensions and wrap the extra wire up and zip tye it to something as it looks like the 12" ones are just a little to short.

I heard that the headers and y will come with C clamps but they crunch the pipe. Is there also leaking when using the C clamps? If not can I just use the clamps that come with it?
The bolts thet come with the pacesetters will be fine (they are a standard size 7/16ths IIRC) as for the clamps, they do come with the c clamps, and they can crimp the pipe if you tighten the crap out of them, but so far mine aren't crimped, and haven't leaked, if you can't find the band clamps they'll work fine (just don't go too crazy tightening them up
