I've never heard of that myself, if anything I've heard Pacesetters own catted Y runs into more problems.

I just had a catted-y from TSP installed along with Pacesetter LT's. The fitment wasnt perfect, but it fits. My only issue with it is that it hangs too low. I scrape and Im not lowered. However, I have not had time to get under the car to re-align it so that it tucks up higher.

All in all, Id give it a 7 1/2 out of 10

i like my catted y but if you could get one made from a local exhaust shop that would be your best bet at the best possible fit!

I would just get the TSP catted Y pipe and let an exhaust shop align it properly so it doesn't hang so low.

Buying an ORY and then getting aftermarket cats, just seems like a lot of work.

Are you guys that have scraping issues using the stock U-clamps that come with the parts?

I was scraping all over the place until I got band-clamps from NAPA. It takes a really steep slope/hump from a parking lot to a road for me to *barely* nick it now.
