Yeah I've got the QTP QTEC Y-pipe on my car and am seriously considering swapping it for a custom job and putting the new DMH Low profile cutouts on it.
WIth the QTP y on there now it scrapes all over. even the motors for the QTECs have been scraped a bit.

I just ordered two Magnaflow 59959's and am going to have a custom one fabbed up with mandrel bent stuff. Our local guy offers aluminized for $225 or stainless for $300 with me bringing the cats. He makes his own collector, which I haven't seen, but I guess anything is better than my makeshift Pacesetter. If I had to to it all over again, I'd go with ARH and be done.
yep, to many tickets and my wife hated even riding in it, I dont go to the track enough to make it an all out race car so I dont need that kind of exhaust for a street car
also I got my Kooks y-pipe on and what a nice piece!
I'll get some pics up on Saturday

what LTs and catback you running now?
Grifter, I see your running Grots. I have Grots on my car and I dont really care for them. They rub the subframe on the drivers side. Who made that Y pipe. Mine is a custom one and it sucks ***. Also are your headers thin. Mine are so tinny sounding.

Verdad Gallardo I have Kooks 1 7/8 headers, Kooks y-pipe and Borla catback with my eletric opener in the "ajustable plate" location so I can change the sound on the fly
I am ordering my Fast 92 setup hopfully today. My goal is to get over 500rwhp and run a 10.90ish on motor
car dynoed 470, and went 11.34@120 with 900 miles on the new motor and I think as break in goes it should gain alittle from that, then adding the manifold that my motor really needs, because as of now it sucks the LS6 dry, the little 78mm TB and LS6 manifold just cant keep up with the 396

I bought the car with the Grot's. The previous owner said they went in fine and he never had any problems, they don't hit anything for me. My car only has 16K miles and I think the headers have around 10K, they don't seem too thin compared to the others I have seen. There's a little surface rust which is to be expected. I have a custom Mufflex y-pipe.

I have the Qtp Y-PIPE and it fits ok, except I cant find a tunnell brace to fit. I had to have the 4 inch section welded too. Theres no reason to have a clamp on each end of the reducer anyway.
