Default Any Fitment Issues with Pacesetters and There Catted Y Pipe?

I had purchased Mac Headers and Catted Y a year ago. I had fitment issues with driver side header hitting steering knuckle. I dont want that again. Will pacesetters be diffrent or will they hit the steering Knuckle Too Thanks

I have pacesetters and a ORY and dont have any issues, MOST people with pacesetters dont have issues but their are a few cases where people have problems with fitment

Pacesetter does not make a catted y-pipe. Their ORY has a crushed section, which I would take ANY day over a drooping *** alternative.

My Kooks y has a slightly flattened section, resulting in better clearance than stock.

its not really the flattened part that bothered me the most, it's the merge, the merge is horrible

My TSP ory was a good piece, but I sold that setup to go with true-duals. I haven't dealt with any catted ys.
