Get the Pacesetter y-pipe to go with your Pacesetter headers. Since it is a slip fit, use some stepped band clamps for a good seal. I have both the long tubes and the y-pipe. They both tuck up very well underneath the car.

The quality is pretty decent for what you pay, I second the band clamp idea, they will create a very good seal and will not distort the pipes like the regular u-clamps that will come with your kit.

3rd vote for band clamps with the pacesetter Ypipe. Ive been doing my research and thats what I'm gonna do next.

Yeah, use the band clamps and the Pacesetter y-pipe should work fine. They hold plenty strong and you'll still be able to remove the y-pipe if you have to(like if you need to drop the trans).

Re: which y pipe to get for Pacesetter

I will never recommend the Pacesetter Y-pipe to anyone. The damn thing never fit right and always leaked/rattled.

Re: which y pipe to get for Pacesetter

My Y pipe fit perfectly (except I had to have the end swelled out to fit over the GMMG I pipe) and looks great. I wouldn't go with anything else.
