which ORY should I get for coated pacesetter LTs? I wanna get a set of pacesetter LTs & need to know which ORY pipe you guys recommend getting. I will be connecting it to the stock catback. Also, will I need o2 sensor wire extensions? If so who sells them? Thanks in advance.
Speedtweekerz.com offer's the 3" Pacesetter ORY pipe or you can get a custom Y pipe by a local exhaust shop. Yes, you'll need O2 extensions. I know you can get some from WS6store.com & MarylandSpeed, i believe speedtweekerz has them as well.

So is the TSP a direct fit? What about the downstream o2 codes, did you just have them deleted by gettin a tune or o2 sims? I seen an o2 extension harness set on ebay, 12 & 24 inch extension harnesses. Does this sound like what I would need?
I've got the same exact question. I can't justify a custom Y for my application so I'm thinking about either the Pacesetter or the TSP ORY. I've heard though that the pacesetter unit has better ground clearance than the TSP one. Any opinions comparing the two?

I have pacesetter LT's and pacesetter OR Y pipe and no problems at all with ground clearance. And they flow fine. I've very happy with mine. One thing you might wanna take a look at though is getting something to stop the y pipe from banging the floor board, i think thunder racing sells something for it.

Verdad Gallardo Yeah the TSP is a direct fit, their Y pipe is basically the same as pacesetters. You can have any shop delete the rear o2 codes for you, which will have to be done on an off road y pipe set up. You will ALSO need the o2 extensions, the new y pipe will move the o2 sensor farther back, so you get a 12 and a 24 or 2 24's and zip tie the closer one out of the way which is what i did.

I've had both. The Pacesetter Y has much better ground clearance. Neither has an appealing merge. If that bothers you, you can do what I did, and take a dremel to the inside of the merge and bore it out as best as you can, or you can fabricate a Flowmaster merge in its place. I'd say a Pacesetter Y pipe with a 3" in/4" out Flowmaster merge fabbed in with a 4" cutout right after the merge would be an excellent setup. I welded in a cutout a few inches behind each header collector on my Y pipe instead though. It showed nice gains on the dyno as opposed to going through the exhaust.
I 'ported' my pacesetter Y. If you look at it, it's basically a bent up pipe on the passenger side, for the drivers side they cut a square hole in the pass side pipe and weld the drivers side to it.
I got in there with a die grinder and carbide bit and opened that hole up a lot.
As for low cost Y's look at the Edelbrock. I can't believe the quality vs price.
And it comes with two O2 bungs, four band clamps. It's just over $110.
