NO Is it that hard to have someone custom make one instead of buying a catted y and everyone bitching about how they dont like it because it bangs the floorboard and has a shitty merge.

is that what your big announcement was gonna be, that you're doing a catted y? how about changing the upward angle of the drivers side header collector so that it can be installed without needing to be cut and re-welded....just a thought

My XS headers fit fine and I didn't do any cutting to the collector.

Any word on when this catted y will be available? Days,weeks,years?
I hate the way it sounds with the ory.I agree the y pipe is pressed right against the floor with the way the drivers side header in angled up.I was thinking of cutting the collector and rewelding it back straight. Has anyone did this?Does anyone have any pictures of cats welded in on the xs ory?
