Lowering & Y-Pipe Problems Hey All:
Was wondering: about to do my 1LE swaybar and shock conversions: about 1.5 to 1.8 drop (not too rice) and was wodnering what the clearance would look like: especially if I wanted to do a aftermarket Y-Pipe. Would there be clearance issues? If so, what could I do to go around it? I was thinking to do slap some shorties on after (Damn CA emissions) and a Y-pipe... but pontless if I would be able to fit them. Any input would be appreciated.

These are shots with Hotchkis front springs (1"-1.25" drop) and stock rear. Headers are Pacesetter longtubes with a catted y-pipe, and a Magnaflow catback. As you can see, clearance mostly sucks for the y-pipe, but I'm going to try and have a muffler shop take a look and see if they can either put another bend or two in the driver's side of the y-pipe, or fab me a custom catted y-pipe that might fit a little better.

Looks nice! But yeah, that is way too close for me.... had a quick question: know the front 1LE sway is 36 mm, but what is the rear? my firend supposedly has one.. but its only about 24 or 26 mm. sound familiar?

WOW!
I have the Hotchkis lowering springs with the Pacesetter catted Y-pipe and mine looks nothing like yours.
Mine is tucked up real nice
You must have an old style pacesetter.

Phoenix: 1LE is 32 up front, 21 rear
XtinctHawk: Mine is the TSP catted y-pipe. I'm going to get it looked at as soon as possible because I'm tired of scraping.
