I have their ory and it is a piece as well. Find a shop to fab a y-pipe or go true duals.

Their Y-pipe indeed is a pain in the *** puzzle, but it flows and scavenges extremely well because of the flowmaster merge collector. Have a good shop install it well and it will give decent clearance.

I'm runnning qtp's Y, and have no complants. With the cats in the exhaust, my car ran 10.80 with them.

I do want to have a setup like the stainless kooks dual exhaust done, but it's a matter of $ going to other things right now.

a custom ory fitted to your car is the best option if worried about banging or scraping

I'm running their catted Y.

I spent a great deal of time adjusting it to fit correctly but still tapped my driver-side cat pulling into the parking lot at school.
From my knowledge I hit the cat TWICE since I had the Y ...

The cats are now gutted because in August (didn't even have it for 3 months) the driver-side cat blew out and clogged my exhaust.
So guess who had to buy a new catback.

Take your money and get someone to fab a Y, I wouldn't buy QTP's.

I have the QTP ORY with the flowmaster Y and like it but I rather wish it were made out of a good stainless steel instead of alumized steel though.

I have the their catted y but If I could do it all over again I'd get a custom y or true duals.

I have a QTP Offroad Y.

I had to adjust it several times before I got it just right, and I welded everything in place because it leaked, especially at the collector.

Now that I have it in place, it does flow quite well, and I have no clearance issues.

Bottom line is that its a pain in the @ss to install, but works well once you have it done right.

The qtp pipe is more work to install.. but make a 3 inch Y and have it clear everythign and not hang too low withotu being a sectioned Y like theirs... is not gonna happen.

It's one of the best Y pipes out there, they've been tested and proven to make more power then most.

That being said, you get a little added hassle from the sections of pipe having to come together right, deal with it!
