Question Need specs on Pacesetter Y-pipe

I know that the Pacesetter LTs come into a 3" collector. I'm assuming that the off road y-pipe is also 3" in diameter? I've looked on Speed Engineering's site but wasnt 100% positive. The local exhaust shops around here cant bend 3" pipe. What are you guys running from the y-pipe back? Thanks guys!

The y-pipe is 3". It has a factory style flange to bolt up to whatever cat-back you want.

werd. the y-pipe is made out of 3" aluminized tubing, and has an expanded 3" pipe connection to slip over the 3" tubing from the collectors. the stock flange setup was convenient too, just chopped my muffler off, welded the new super 40 on there, welded the hangers to the muffler, and it was done.

Not trying to hi-jack the thread...but how low does the Pacesetter ORY hang past the tranny crossmember? May be good for you to know too xlcooplx and for the rest of us riding low.

lookin at mine it appears to be about like maybe an inch or so lower than the tranny member. keep in mind, I extended mine to where the y pipe y's after the tranny x-member, best thing I did cuz I could actually have plenty of room to move around and get to things. I have plenty of clearance of the driveshaft too. another plus is that if I wanna remove the ORY all I gotta do is undo my band clamps and slide it all out, don't have to jack with the damn tranny x-member that way.

no problem man I think i read a while back that the LTs and y-pipe were about level with the bottom of the chassis..

as far as my exhaust, the previous owner of my truck hacked the factory y and had duals put on the truck so i dont have the luxury of cutting out the factory muffler and installing another. im going to have to look for a catback of some kind and even then i know that i wont use the entire system b/c i hate most of the tips. as i said earlier, none of the exhaust shops around here can bend 3" pipe

that sucks they can't bend 3" pipe. what kind of exhaust shop are they? lol

the corsa catback is nice IMO, you could just ditch the tips on it lol, kinda expensive to ditch using the tips, but I personally hate tips too. I think they're pretty ghetto
