The only clearance problem that i am having is with the tunnel brace it gets pretty close and I can feel it hitting on it once in a while. But i just put the system on so with a little bit of tweaking it should be fine. The Y-pipe hitting the floor board is no problem at all so far.

Not sure why there was a problem with the Magaflow cat back that's what I have on my car and it slid right on the Y. Pretty much all cat backs are made to fit the stock Y. That's why our Y is reduced at the end just like the stock one. If you had a U-bolt clamp on your cat back to Y connection before thought that may be why it won't fit and needs stretched a little.

Yea mine had a U-bolt clamp on it so i'm pretty sure that was the reason that it didn't fit.

Mine had a U-bolt as well.

FYI to anyone interested, I weighed the stock stuff that came off the car and it came to about 70lbs. If the shipping box the headers came in is correct as to the weight of the new stuff at 35lbs, thats 35lbs shaved off the car

I just got my LPP Headers. I am not all the impressed with them. The headers tubes dont match flush with the flanges and there is a slight gap on a few primaries. Just kinda looks like sloppy work. But i havent installed them yet so i will have to get back to you all on the power gains.
