I got a smoking deal on some nice flooring at floor and decor. Just make sure YOU tie the load down. Those guys almost had me loose $3K worth of flooring pulling out onto 45S.

Yes, 17/8" ORY. Was around $540 shipped to Texas with new gaskets and band clamps.

thats an awesome price! Does the y pipe bolt directly to the stock catback? Just asking because i noticed in another thread you said you were taking it to a muffler shop. I didn't know if it will bolt right up or you gotta "make it work"

I'm not sure about bolting to stock exhaust, have to compare the flanges. I'm going to run 4" off the ORY, that's why I'm going to a muffler shop.

It will not effect anything performance or tune related, I have an LS2 TB on my LS1 Corvette with it flipped because it would not clear the centri superchager.

Yeah there are. But very pricey! Just depends on how much you wanna spend.
