Having issues with my y pipe install *pics*
Having issues with my y pipe install *pics* Alright so over the weekend like everybody else it seems, I started to put on my new hooker LTs got them on but now the y pipe is fighting me its a y pipe from jet hot. But the DS pipe hits on a brace (looking for ideas here)
(thats not rust its mud...
)
And im almost positive the pipes in all the way but its to wide???? Wth am i doing wrong just frustrated with this project right now.
so since it hits the support it sits to low...Just $#%#ing confused.

hmm, i have never had that issue... i do know that the pacesetter stuff is sometimes made to clear underneath fbodys...... maybe unhook from the catback and install to headers and then see what happens maybe it will flex from the back...... if its still off some and you can figure it out maybe the muffler shop can make you a slightly curved pipe to make up for the bend without looking too ghetto..... that last part is just a worst case of course and the best way it to try to make it fit without doing anything abnormal
honestly man......if its the brace im thinking just take the damn thing out of there..... i had one on my 2002 M6 that wasnt doing ****, it was made out of paper thin metal and flexed like crazy anyways.....jerked that crap off in 2 minutes!
yeah im half tempted to cut the brace out weight reduction right lmao. Its just i dont understand why im having this much trouble its not like I cheaped out on parts lol.
Just sucks ill take a break from it for awhile...

Mine still has the brace, cut for clearance, and BFH mod to the top of the Y-pipe. The worst part is, this shows up right at the end of the install when you're breezing through putting it back together, then it laughs at you and makes you do more work to fix it.
I had the same problem doing mine. I asked everyone what they did and no one had this issue... hmm...
My only hits on 1-2 shift at WOT... lol
