depends more on how well the y-pipe tucks up. pacesetters tuck up pretty decent. I'd get a custom one with the flowmaster merge and see if that would help your clearance

My Pacesetter LT's have great ground clearance. Its the 3" ORY that causes some loss of clearance. I scrape mine in certain parkin lots, but its not bad. I need to get the mufflex bump stop hanger for the ORY so it will stop hittin the floor.

I have very little issues with my ORY. It scarped the same as with my stock ypipe. I have the eibach sportlines in front and the prokit in the rear. As far as the banbing on the floorpan, the poly motor mounts took care of that...
