She bangs! She bangs! DAMN, WRONG FORUM..........MODERATORS PLEASE MOVE THIS TO LS1/LS1 EXTERNAL ENGINE.
Finally got around to finishing the TSP Y-pipe install on my brand new pacesetters. I set it up with a fat pry bar in between the Y-pipe and the drivers side frame rail then tightened all the clamps. It's got about a 1/2" clearance but........she bangs. I wanted to take it off and BFH the frame rail but couldn't get the Y-pipe back off the headers after I tightened up all the clamps LOL.
I've searched and searched. There's poly motor mounts, stuffing a hunk of whatever between the pipe and body, the mufflex hanger, and all sorts of hillbilly **** in between to fix this. But what's the best way.
Now I wish I wouldn't have let Brian at TSP talk me out of the poly motor mounts. Oh well........I think I'll take it to a muffler shop and say "it hits right here, fix it". I need to have the peices of the Y-pipe welded anyway.
BTW, the pacesetter/TSP OR Y-pipe/ hooker catback combo sounds SICK!! It's soooooo quiet going down the highway, like quieter than stock. Stick your foot in it and LOOK OUT!!
