I want to upgrade my exhaust, but want to have the most clearance possible. I know the problem is going to be my Y pipe. from what ive read on here it seems that my best bet is going to be a custom Y made at an exhsust shop. Is this a safe conclusion to come to? does anyone have any recomendations (besides raising my car) for a header/Ypipe combo that wont drag with my sportlines? Ive read that BBK is supposed to have great clearance, as well as ARF? But the two threads i read about each person had the pro kit, not sportlines... Let me know what you think!

I have sportlines, and the Pacesetter headers w/ the ORY. Ground clearance is okay I guess considering how low my car actually sits. If I were you, dont even **** with the pacesetters. Look into those revised stainless steel LPP headers that some sponsor on this forum sells. I put my Pacesetters on just this past Thanksgiving break, and they are already looking like **** and have a pinhole leak at the collector. I kick myself in the a$$ for not going stainless, especially like the ones I just mentioned. BTW, u will have to do motor mounts also. My ORY banged like a ****. If you are wise, be smarter than some of us *cough* and do prothane motor mounts WHILE the headers are out of the way! Just some advise learned the hard way.

This is the exact reason i wanted to stay away from pacesetter. Thanks for posting up. And ill def be doing the prothane mounts while i do the headers. i plan on having a "MOD WEEK" and just start putting on stock piled parts, but this all probable wont happen till next spring, im going use this winter to start get everything together, so ill be all ready to go next spring.
