Pacesetter LT's and ORY & Borla catback Does anyone have this combo? Did it fit right in? I havent put the y pipe on yet, but i just held it up today, and it looks like i'm going to have to cut part of my exhaust to get it to fit right. It doesnt go to the stock location behind the cat, does that sound right? I just want to make sure I didnt get the wrong part.
I ordered it from TSP, and a sticker on one pipe says 211611 and the other says 211612 i believe.
I just want to make sure its the right part before I hack up my 700 dollar exhaust to get it to fit.

i have that setup. I had the y-pipe welded together and had to have a custom i-pipe made, the borla was the same OD as the y-pipe... but looking at the welds it appears the previous owner hacked up the i-pipe installing it, so i'm not quite sure how the stock borla fits to the Y. Exhaust shop charged me 85 to fit everything, clamps, weld, made the pipe, and torch the Y to get it snug up to the car.

I had shorty's on mine with a bbk y pipe with a gutted cat, and it was L O U D. And I loved it. I want it louder, but I'm not to keen on hacking up an exhaust system that costs $700 bucks brand new. I might try to find a SLP 2OTL, since thats what I really want anyway.
You have to cut back a portion of the cat-back intermediate pipe to mate up with the y-pipe. I ended up getting a 3" butt connector to bolt clamp together the y-pipe to the I-pipe after I trimmed it back. I didn't want to weld anything together until I was happy with the fit. The band clamps are holding real well so I might not get any of it welded. I'm still running the stock SLP 2OTL that came on my SS. But I put dual 3" cats in the y-pipe so it's actually pretty quiet.

Right now i have it completely blocked off and it still sounds great. I'm actually running out to my driveway to take the plate back out now, because i drive a lot faster now that my car's quiet
Off topic, but i'm trying to get rid of my catback and y. If anyone wants it, all i'm charging for both is however much a true dual setup will cost me (i'm estimating 300-400. If you're interested PM me please.
