Default Worth it?

Alright guys. Sorry about all the exhaust question threads but I'm curious to your opinions on this Y pipe....with dual QTEC cutouts...

...I would be hooking this up to pacesetter LTs....the only plus that I can see to having the dual cutouts is less restriction, equallling (?) a little more hp...what do you think?

That's one expensive Y pipe. I'd say not worth it. If you have a welder (or someone you know) you can make one for WAY cheaper. Just have to put the time in to get it to fit well. I modded my Pacesetter Y to have dual cutouts pretty easily. I have a welder though, not sure if that's even an option for you.

Real expensive Jason. Its a nice piece for sure but not really what you need. Since you're running a LM catback (which has no restriction at all), I would just go with the TSP ORY and add a flowmaster collector to it then mate that up to your Pacesetters.

Worth all of 10 rwhp. The biggest issue many people face is that you have serious ground clearance issues with the y-pipe. I've known many people that have broken the motors off of the electric cutouts. One of the guys in our club used to have that setup and we had to lift up on the front fenders for him to clear to get up over the lip of the drive on lift and onto the dyno.
