Really the y pipe won't fit a 6L80? I feel like that's very short sighted of them. I have the cash in my pocket right now to buy their headers and true dual exhaust prototype system but maybe I should just stick with my leaky Kooks headers and Y pipe and just have a cat back made.

The TSP Y-pipe had problems in 2 places... 1) the crossover had about 1/16th of an inch from hitting the 6L80e pan on the bottom and driver side.... and i didnt like that. 2) i had to notch the crossmember on the passenger side where the actual Y merges together and goes over the crossmember. It literally just sit on top of it with no clearance until i cut a bit corner out of it. This was last year or so... so not sure if they may have changed things since then.

Can anyone tell me the performance difference between budget headers and say ARH headers? I can't imagine it's worth $1200+ but still curious.

Materials and Fitment... until you have held a set of Kooks/ARH and a set of Pacesetters etc. in your hand you wont know... Kooks look gorgeous and so well crafted... Same with ARH... with all that being said... i have coated Pacesetters beside me about to go on my 6.2 Denali I bought a CAI, muffler, LTs and Y, and Tune for the price of the Kooks i wanted. I dont cheap out but ive had coated Pacesetters on 6 different vehicles and they have NEVER let me down.

I called texas speed. They said the Y pipe was designed to clear the 6l80 (close fit but does clear) The guy also said the y pipe is designed for their headers and might not work with other headers.

SE told me it should fit, he didn't guarantee it but said they were very similar.

I wonder how much it would cost to have a Y pipe made
