pacesetters on way! need opinions
my pacesetters should be here monday 
i didnt order a y pipe because i decided to copy bigkids y-pipe idea. here it is...
it just looks like it would flow better to me...its a 3" y-pipe into a single 3"collector.
do you think 3" from collector to muffler is too much exhaust for a stock 5.3(mods in sig)
i havent decided if im guna use cats or not. it all depends on how raspy it gets.

It wont benefit you much I wouldnt think, but it gives you room for more growth 
. I wanted to do the same thing, but I dont want to use gas on my welder and this fluxcored **** is a pain to get it to totally seal and Im scared to get under there to measure everything, so I went with the Pacesetter Y and I'll cut it up and weld in dual 3" electric cutouts. Once I get better I may get a 3" to 3.5" collector and make one like Bigkids.

congrats on the headers, that y pipe looks pretty good, imo a full 3'' for the 5.3 maybe a lil much, but hey, im sure that u wont be disappointed. i plan on the pacesetters for my 4.8 and i'll end up using the y that pace makes.

tiburon, its pacesetters.
the only reason im concerned is because i realized alot of the othre well known LT's come with smaller primaries. i just hoping 3" isnt so much overkill that it hurts my performance in the long run...
