Default Y-PIPE RUBS

I just lowered my car 2" and on the drivers side of the y-pipe hangs down lower than the pass side is there a way to fix it or is there another Y-pipe I can buy that will sit up higher than the stock pipe? If so where is the best place to by one? Thanks

Good luck, you raise it up much higher and it's gonna bang the floorboards. Think the stock y-pipe has the best clearance of any aftermarket setup.

Definitely don't buy the SLP Y pipe if it is clearance that you are looking for. Mine hung down lower than my FLP's & Y pipe do. That's the reason GM bent the stock one to hell on the drivers side.

I just put on a drive shaft loop and had the Y pipe bangin it. When I adjusted the Y-pipe one sid was hanging down lower than the other. The way I corrected this was to loosen the Y-pipe at the three connections but did not remove the hanger. Now I put a piece of wood of the correct thickness on the passenger side to maintain clearance then I put the floor jack on the drivers side Y-pipe and lifted it up to the correct position. The wood kept the pipe from getting too close on the passenger side then I tightened up the bolts to the y-pipe at the three joints. Good luck. I think this will fix it.
