I installed the LT Pacesetters with the 3" ORY with my dad. Very easy to install, everything fit awesome. Just remember to get the good OEM metal gaskets, the Corvette 02 sensors (since they are long and you will not need extensions with them).

Don't forget about the ever growing variety of Chinese crap being posted all over the place. They sell for 1/2 the cost of American made systems. Make sure you add in the additional cost of the sledge hammer needed to beat them in. Also they can't help you if you need air emission fittings or cats. Shipping CARB certified cats from the states to China is obviously too expensive.
