Well I installed my qtp's and ory the other day. The headers are top notch, no k member grinding or any other fitment problems at all. But the y pipe is a turd. No matter how I adjust it, there is a low spot on the driver side. I know its gonna be a little lower on that side, but I have like 3.5" of clearance in one spot! Should I just take that section of pipe out and try to add an extra bend or something?

Man thats terrible. I bought the Dynatech Supermaxx System. It cost me $1295 but it has the best clearance of any Header/Catted Y I've seen so far. I've got a friend that got a Dynatech System for his Vette and it has excellent ground clearance also. You don't hear much about them but they are all stailness steel and fit like a glove.

Take a look at my Kooks Corsa setup. Pictures are in my sig. Everything slipped in place real easy and there is absolutely no banging. Clearance is outstanding.

the qtp y does indeed hang lower than what i think it should no matter how much adjusting you do. i'm lowered with a sportline kit with a 3,650 lb land barge. a coke cam laying down still likes probably over a 1/2" from clearing on the driver side. it's like driving an old school low-rider.
