I bought QTP headers and their ORY. I am very satisfied with the longtubes and am equally disappointed with the Y - it is very expensive and didn't fit. It requires cutting and modifying the stock intermediate pipe and I need to be able to restore the stock exhaust system. I eventually fabricated a custom Y.

I have QTP's on mine, but haven't tried to see if the Pacesetter Y that I picked up a few months back will fit. The previous owner had the car done with a Random Tech setup and I have some ground clearance issues occasionally. I'm thinking there's some adjustability to be had if I can get a set of ball/socket flanges from Flowmaster to connect the Y to the headers. The replacement I-pipe and over the axle pipe I got from Summit didn't run too much either. Just haven't had the time to futz with it too much lately. After seeing some of the true dual CME's in the other thread though....I'm seriously considering going that route.
