I just rx'd my y pipe today. If they fit Jet Hot coated LTs to the SLP mid pipe, I should have them installed by next week. Anything is better than the cheap Jet Hot catted Y, poor design - great idea. I could never beat the exhaust leak this Y-pipe inherently has at the cats section. Too bad for me I tried it and wasted the money. I hope these work.
I also noticed there are no bungs for O2 sensors. I have to find someone to delete the rear O2's or have a local muffler shop weld them in. Not sure which is cheaper, 75.00 for a softpatch or the muffler shop. So add the extra cash that is mentioned.

yep i run that same setup with pacesetters LT's. i didn't install it so i can't tell you how the install went. i actually have a little bit of clearance issues with mine. maybe it just needs adjusted.

after all was said and done i would still buy TSP's catted y-pipe again, from pricing high-flow cats usually a pair of them are $300 from what i found, so it seems like a pretty good deal.
according to TSP's website, they should bolt right up to Pacesetter & Hooker headers. As for clearance on my 98 Trans Am, the driver side cat sit barely underneath the brake lines & floorboard. The bottom side of that cat is the closest part of my exhaust to the ground. My car sits at stock ride height, and the bottom of the cat sits about 4" or so off the ground (from guess-timation).
I have Hooker long tubes, TSP 3" catted y, and GMMG catback. We had to do a little adjusting, because my headers were only 2.5" pipe. I had a offroad Y pipe on before the catted TSP, and the sound was nice. But after we installed the TSP... it just turned out the best sound. Sounds like a turbo, mean, and tamed v8.

yeah i know it's stepp but where i live everythings 10 times as much, just like overnight mail is actually 2nd day here. i already have exhaust and all i just need my headers and Y put on. ill look around town see if i can find anything even minorly cheaper
Me and my brother installed a TSP ORY on my old car. It was pretty easy...we just had to get a couple pieces expanded a little (such as where it goes over the collector) to make it a little easier. Other than that it all was straight forward and slid right together. Good luck
