Default Ory hanging low?

I installed pace setter long tubes that I bought used with the y-pipe and the it is really hanging low, could the y-pipe be wrong? It's so low I couldn't get the plate that goes under the exhaust and torque arm back on by a long shot, is this normal or???

Mine hangs kind of low also. I guess the longtubes bring it down a little bit compared to the stocker. For the connecter plate thing ... (can't think of whats it called right now) I hammered it to shape and it fits fine.

Had a buddy of mine at the muffler shop cut off the drivers side and reshape it, now it's perfect.

Don't forget that the factory y pipe is flat style vs aftermarket which is round so that also can make it look like it sits lower.

Good to see you got yours fixed though.
