You had to take the Y-pipe out to install the clutch, so maybe it needs a little adjusting to to put it back the way it was before.

yep, Ypipe may not be all the way on the headers. Better yet, just put in some motor mounts and call it a day!

I dont have the Pacesetter Headers on my car but I do have FLP Long Tube Headers on mine and I put a new motor in my friend 2001 SS Camaro and he bought the Pacesetter Headers and his and mine did what you are talking about and we (I done the work LOL). We bought them form Summit Racing with motor mounts/transmission mount kit part number PTP-7-1908 price now is $71.99. They are the clam shell type and it will fix your problem I am pretty sure. Good Luck
