Pacesetter LT's You guys runnig the pacesetters, if you are running the pacesetter Y-pipe, what exhaust are you using? I was planing stock from the y back with a cutout.
also, anyone have problems with the y-pipe banging on the floorpan? I guess im gonna have to hammer it out a bit.

I have pacesetter LTs and ORY. The driver side of the y bangs on the floor. We tried to bend it down as much as possible at the exhaust shop, so its not too bad now. I was thinkin about wrappin it in exhaust tape, like thick so it doesnt rattle around 
I had the exhaust shop run 3 inch pipe over the axle and out the back off the ypipe. I took them a hooker muffler and they hooked it all up. Its really quiet and i am a little dissapointed. Im thinkin about a cut out right before the exhaust goes over the axle.

well i am doing Pacesetter LT's but i am getting a ORY custom made at my exhuast shop..... ill get some pics... these guys have done all my work for me and they do some really good stuff.... ill let you know on the banging on the underside see how he does with that, im not expecting any in the past 4 years i have had not one problem with his work
I'm using their y-pipe but I cut it to add dual 3" cats. That gave me a little extra flex to align things before having the driver's side cat welded up. I'm using the stock SLP 2OTL cat-back that came on my SS. I think my car is actually quieter now than it was with the stock manifolds and dual cat y-pipe. No pipes hitting anywhere at this point.

Never ran it w/ open y pipe but im sure it sounds just like the open cutout right before it goes over the axle. As far as vibrations and such, my heat shield from where the cat used to be rattles like a ****, but i only notice the floor rubbing when i have the cutout capped.

hmmm ok guys thanks, I am having some clearence issues. I had to shim the tranny crossmember to get the y pipe off the driverside, and also it was melting the fuel return line connector. I also have noticed the passanger side is rubbing on the tranny bellhousing.
Your motor mounts might be shot if you still have the originals. I put in new poly mounts and the original GM rubber mounts were all elongated and stretched which would let the engine twist out of position. Have you tried loosening the driver's side header bolts and pulling down on the header to help gain a little extra clearance?
