Yeah mine was a pain to get in. Took some hammering. Now that it is in there everything seems fine. Clearance doesn't seem to be worse than others.

The best thing I did to cure my Y-pipe whoas was to remove the drivers side cat' from QTPs location and move a smaller replacement right off of the collector. Then, run a 3" U-bend (or 45*) pipe to the joint left by the original pipe and weld it all up. After a little cutting on some sheetmetal, I have no regrets. It fits as good as any 3" Y-pipe could, and has a merge collector.

JMHO. Good luck.
