Pacesetter Y-Pipe Options
I've got Pacesetter LTs with the TSP catted Y on my 02 z28. I really don't like the ground clearance on the driver's side. Or I should say, the LACK of clearance on the driver's side (less than 4")
The catted Jet Hot Y looks like a better design. Does it fit the Pacesetters? If so how's the fit, clearance and floorboard banging?
If it doesn't fit or give 5"+ of clearance*, what other options are there for a catted Y that fits Pacesetters? Is a custom setup really the only option for a high quality fit? Or is the underside of a 4th Gen just not designed for an OEM-quality Y-pipe fit?
*The car is not lowered.

I remember reading posts about Pacesetters and everyone recommended poly motor mounts to keep them from hitting the floor board. I don't know what to do about ground clearance though. Just be glad you don't have SLP headers.

I have the same problem with my custom y pipe that's at 3" w/ little clearance on my driverside. I think im just gonna try & see if the guy can flatten the driverside just a bit. To allow more ground clearance, im not lowered either.
