me neither,especially since the headers angle down alittle and the qtp hangs down pretty low no matter how much adjusting i done.i will probably have it cut and rewelded for alittle better clearance.

Now that the irritation of getting it tucked up tight is over, I'm glad I have the qtp y.

A single cutout in the intermediate pipe will be just fine. But if you want the sound of open headers, getting the qtp y pipe might come out cheaper. You will have to find someone that can make the cutouts on the tsp y pipe.

I vote for the single QTP in the I. For extra bonus points get a vert top switch and panel for a stock concealed look.

if you are lowerd at all then dont go with their y-pipe. I literally had an inch of clearance or less. It was terrible. If you arent lowered then its not THAT bad but id recommend either a custom y-pipe setup with cutouts or tru dual setup and leave it at that.
