I'm assuming this would work fine because the pacesetter y-pipe eliminates the cats anyway, just wanting to make sure it will work before I go through with a trade for my true duals.

Yeah, you should be able to do that without any problems. I have Pacesetter LTs and Y-Pipe with a Hooker catback on my 96 and it fits and sounds great. It should be no different on yours. I had to have the Y-pipe expanded just slightly to fit over the Hooker I-pipe but thats about it. (I also had to dremmel off some weld beads off the inside of the tubes on the Hooker muffler where the tailpipes insert - just a heads up).

Yep..mine fit up fine, just had to have a small piece cut and the remaining pipe expanded. After that, I got it welded up

You'd want the intermediate pipe expanded, not the Y-pipe, for the sake of leaks.....but hey, if it doesn't leak, who cares?
