Question headers bolting up to aftermarket catback.

so it has been told that you have to modify your catback when hooking up lt's and ORY without cats. is this true? what has to be done. i'm putting lt's on here soon and not sure what ory to go with. i hear a lot of people going with a mufflex y pipe is it that much better than any other y pipe? or should i save my money and just go with a regular y pipe that goes with the headers

well thats good to know i was afraid you had to cut somethin for some reason. what about y pipes? do the mufflex ones sound or flow any better than any regular y pipe? i don't want too much rasp.

Any brand will be pretty good. They will give you small amounts of rasp but not too bad with a catback.

I've had several different combos and never had a problem with anything not fitting. Dont worry about it. If it makes you feel better go with something you see everyone using
