I want what ARH offers with the 1 7/8" tubes, high velocity 3" merge collector and no slip fit joints. Basically I want what ARH offers, but they are not making a Y pipe for 99-06! Too busy supposedly.

I can tell you I highly doubt that SW will not make them with the same connection style as AH.. If it is done right, you will not have any leak problems whatsoever with a slip fit... Sure if you use junk hardware you will have issues down the road, if it is good stuff no probs. I used stainless t clamps and not a single leak...

not interesting in slip fit thank you. It's inferior. Check what GM uses on the stock exhaust and get back to me. Ive had too many problems with slip fit in the past, especially with out of round pipes, and I dont want to deal with it anymore.

Can't you weld a slip fit if you don't like it?

One being that you prob used reg style muffler clamps to seal it or low quality thin wall exhaust tubing... 2nd just because gm uses a diff style means nothing.. I had my pipes off a few times already and 0 issues.. And if it is all stainless you have 0 rusting problems that occur when you use mild steel So with that being said, yes if i had to use mild steel I would prefer a diff connection/joint, but being all GOOD STAINLESS slip fit is more then enough, you won't have issues...

Thats the exact reason I had flanges welded onto my Pacesetters. Absolutley worth the extra $100 bucks.

FWIW Corsa exhausts are GM approved and they all utilize a slip fit design with clamps.

I never considered SW headers because of the price. Especially with the LPP headers out it's hard to justify the increase in cost.
