same here. Thats just the way it is. It's touching the floor so you can't get it any higher unless you hack it up. I am just really careful with it.

Mine is not touching the floor... I want it closer to the floor.

Thats pretty shitty! The pacesetter y-pipe rides higher than that.

Is it adjustable on the driver side after it makes the dip to pass the body support?

Well the Pacesetter Y sits highest of all the 3" y pipes because it has a frame clearance spot on the pipe.

I built my own y pipe using the same Flowmaster merge that the QTP and Mufflex uses. Mine tucks nicely.

I have the QTP set up. Mine tucks up higher. Its not easy but it can be adjusted. The pacesetter y pipe is crushed. That is why it tucks up higher. I beleived QTP designed the y pipe to flow. A crushed pipe wont flow that well. I would rather take a better flowing y pipe anyday.

The whole Y pipe is adjustable since it came in seperate parts. The way it's setup now, there's no banging. That exhaust vibrates alot

I think I'd give up 3hp so the pictures of my exhaust don't look like those.

If a CATTED y-pipe doesn't rob that much HP, how much do you really think a slightly crushed section is going to rob? What about the people running 2.5" duals from the collectors back?

If you look at post #7, first picture top right hand corner, you will see a part of the subframe connector. I'll try to take more pics sometime this week if it doesn't rain.
