). Nice choice with the band clamps, U clamps are total dog ****.
Pacesetter ORY.. so easy to install.. why do people bitch about it
Pacesetter ORY.. so easy to install.. why do people bitch about it I installed my long tubes.. (took 30min to get them in and bolted in..BOTH SIDES)..
the Pacesetter ORY was EAAAAAAAAAASY.. i dont see why people hate it, and say it fits like crap... this thing slid in with ease.. and i LOVE the ground clearance on this thing.
granted i did my poly motor mounts last week.. but still this ORY is awesome. I used some stainless steel band clamps instead of the crappy U clamps.. couldnt be happier with this set up.
so for those of you who are debating it.. its a nice Y pipe..

Yeah, the driver side floorboard without poly motor mounts is terrible. I now have poly mounts and will be putting on a catted Y this weekend and I think I will have just as much if not more ground clearance with the catted y now as I did with the ORY and stock motor mounts.

I mean i personally know of two installs of jet hot here locally by some board members in which they did not need to remove the steering shaft as they just slide right in as for mine i had to as there was no way in getting them in without doing so..

Another variable for the Pacesetter Y is that it used to be a one piece deal... if Im not mistaken. Now its a two peicer. I can see how that would make a major difference. Im almost positive that there was at least a early and late design. I once heard of a guy whose y wouldnt even slip over the collectors. What kinda sense does that make? Both pacesetter.
Anyway... +1 for the pacesetter Y. Poly mounts here and no banging. Also the ground clearance is unreal. The lowest point will almost allow a can to stand directly under it. Several spots give a can almost an inch to go!

well it must be the saggy motor mounts then.. when i replaced mine.. my motor mounts were absolutlely trashed.. this might account for some people who have issues.. right now i have 1/2" of space between the Y and floor (on the driver side where the Y is partly crushed down)
and for the person who wants a sound clip.. SO DO I!!! because the car is not running yet.. waiting on getting replacement rocker arm bolts, since i rounded 2 of them.. i should have sound clips in a week..

My mechanic just put mine up to my QTP headers. He suggested flex couplers on the end of the y-pipe (to avoid having to go with the poly motor mounts) with an exhaust hanger or two to hold the y-pipe in place. That way, the couplers could flex with the movement of the motor without the y-pipe being slung around like a cowboy in a PBR championship ride. I pick up the car tomorrow and will let yall know how it turned out. 
On a side note, anyone need a set of poly motor mounts for a LS1 f-body?

this is a good idea.. but also seems like a band aid solution when the real problem is the engine torquing over due to old motor mounts.. They are not that hard to do.. i did mine all by myself, and i know you guys are cabaple of doing them too.

Who the hell in their right mind welds something like that to the collector of a set of QTP SS headers that retail for ~$800??? I'll tell you who....the same people that stuck 7.35" pushrods the motor when it needed 7.4" pushrods. I know where I'm not taking any of my cars...
