Pacesetters installed (pics) Finally got the headers and ory installed. The sound isnt to bad but it could be better. Ive got the slp dd but its still a little raspy. I could do without the exhaust fumes as well. I think Ill be looking for a catted y now. Clearance is great though. A friend of mine told me pacesetter must of redone the y, because he said they fit a hell of alot better now then they use to. Anybody want to trade their catted y for a brand new ory?

My pacesetter y fit good as well. It bangs a bit at WOT in 1st, I'll sort that out later.
Do you think you're getting a good seal with the supplied u-clamps? Like you said, I thought it would sound different (I have the DD as well), I think I'm not getting a good seal with header-y. It sounds a bit like a cut out sounds, it's hard to explain.
Basically it sounds like a cut out kind of (not much noise from the exhaust tips) then around 2800 you can hear an exhaust tone. But under that it sounds like ****, just raw and shitty lol, alot of it coming from under the car. Like I said, it's hard to explain. Not too mention the faint ticking I hear at idle and low rpm.
Like you said, I'm kind of dissapointed in the sound. Above 3K it's good, below that is crap. It might be because I have a leak, I'm not sure.

Hey you might want to get some band clamps. If you happen to bottom out with those clamps you have now! You might do some damage. I would aleast rotate them a little different.

Mine is the exact opposite. Maybe we both like different sounds. Mine sounds raw, burbly, raspy down low and toned, clean up top. It's weird.
I'm pretty sure I have a leak like you said, I won't have time to jack it up till this weekend.
I hope it's a leak, this may be how it is supposed to sound. I kind of hope not.

get some good BAND CLAMPS..those u-bolt clamps are old-school and nowhere near as good for certain things such as header/y connections...get stainless.
