With or without cats?

I have the catted TSP y-pipe and it scrapes quite a bit. If I were to do it over again, I would get one custom-fabbed. It's probably not as much of an issue if you don't run cats.

I havent had many problems with the pacesetter Y pipe, but if you want cats you will have some clearance problems.

TSP y-pipe w/ cats was easy to fab up, but with hotchkis springs I scrape a lot, so be fore-warned.
