Default Some help please.

I just bought some Pacesetter LT's, will the stock Y work for now or do I have to get a new one right away? Also I was reading in one of the stickies that Pacesetter's ORY is not the best, which ORY or catted Y would match up good with these headers? And while were at it, is the Loudmouth cat-back and headers just TOO loud??? Thanks

No you need to get a new y. Give texas speed a call for your y pipe.

Yeah your definatley going to need a new Y pipe. As for the loudmouth thats your own opinion I can tell you after riding in a buddies car w/ the LM and longtubes w/ ORY its way too loud for me. Check out Borla awesome sound and comes with interchangeable plates to adjust the sound.

This means I overpaid I could have gotten the whole set up for $700 flat. Thats what you get for jumping the gun

Nah got to get a new Y pipe. Stock Y will not work.

Yeah the Pace Y is pretty shitty as well, I went with the TSP ORY myself and loved it. It was pain in the *** to get just right, but once it was on perfect no banging and tucked up perfectly.

Yeah its going to be loud and very raspy. Most cant stand it while others can. You are probley going to want to go with the catted Y to save your sanity.

Magnaflow or hooker get my vote. Both sound great and flow with the best of them.
