New Pacesetter Longtube Install
New Pacesetter Longtube Install Just purchased the Ceramic coated Pacesetter LT's
and on the Driver side, the end of the collector sets up in the body cavity about 1 inch higher than the body brace that the fuel lines run behind. There is no way I can slip the Y pipe on this. Anyone have this problem yet, and is this typical for any LT's?

I just put my pacesetters on a couple weeks ago and had the same prob. I bent the drivers side down a little bit with a 2x4. I don't have a y pipe anymore, went with duals so I can't help ya there. The reducer was a very tight fit though, maybe a half inch to an inch of clearance.

Try gettin a 2x4 or a bar in between the frame and the header collector and try to pry it down. I had to use a 2x4 after using a steel bar. I thought I had it bent down good enough but when I got the duals put on it was still a little too close. Let the headers warm up, that'll make them bend easier.

The only thing I can get in between the frame and the header is the tip of a prybar. No leverage though! I think I'm going to have to wait until the next time it is up on a lift. Although I might try heating the headers up, that's a good idea, thanks!
