Default Help Pacsetter Y-pipe Install!

I have 95 firebird formula with the emisson comp pacesetter long tube headers and now im having trouble installing the y-pipe. It seems too interfer with the transmission cross-member i can get the passenger side too slip into the colleceter but when its comes too the driver side it runs right on the transmisson brace ,and everything on the y-pipe sits off center. If anybody has any advice or pics off there install on the y-pipe it would help out a lot!

you're gonna have to clearance the driver's side of the y pipe. it needs to be flattened out where the crossmember is to mate up the the flange correctly. the pipe being off center is normal though, exhaust should be routed towards the pass. side.

Yea, there is a flat spot on the Drivers side. Mine went in with a little work, but it's in fine, and fits good.
