Default new Y pipe???

i own a 98 Z28

I was wondering about replacing my stock Y pipe. i think my options are an off road pipe or a y pipe with high flow cats...

my car is lowered an 1.25",
and i have hooker shorties...

my questions are ground clearence, smell and install, i can;t install the off road pipe by myself, so any advice,,, i want alittle power gain,,,

how would i go about to get an off road y pipe on?

thanks for all your help

I have Hooker shorties as well, and recently added a Bassani Y-pipe with cats. Took some shimming and bending to get it to fit. Bit deeper exhaust tone now but still pretty quiet. No clearance issues, but I can't speak to Texas inspections. The rest of my setup below. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />
