Anyone else have problems with the pacesetter y-pipe? Put the headers on Saturday and Y-pipe would not line up worth a damn. It is about a 1/4" off... almost as if it need to be wide to make it fit both headers. I am taking it to a muffler shop today on my lunch break and letting them deal with it, but just wondering if anyone else has had this. Kinda shítty quality if so. Hate that I have to spend extra money because theyir y-pipe didnt fit. :(

I had that exact same problem. I bought them off of another person on the board and made me wonder if they were knock off headers.
The shop just cut it, slipped a pipe over it, tightened them up then welded it. I also had a leak on top of the Ypipe collector. Hopefully your not cursed with leaks like me.

hawgs, I took my car in the meineke this morning to have them put on the Y-pipe and weld it all together and they just called me about 30 min ago and told me that my Y-pipe didn't line up either. I guess they're gonna bend the y pipe to make it fit. Said it'll cost me about 60 bucks for everything.- JT3<br />1998 Red V6 Camaro Y87 Y3F - J.E.T.

Yeah... I am glad I am not the only one. If Pacesetter doesnt take care of me I'd hate to bad mouth their product on the only 3 V6 messages boards around, which I am coincidentally a moderator of all of 3 them.

Nope sorry dont have a receipt, they didnt charge me that much though. I hope its not a pain in the a$$ once I get the turbo y pipe. If so Im gonna have some headers made. POS Pacesetters!
