i know there's some kind of bracket or something to remedy the y-pipe hitting the bottom of the car but i can't remember what it is...can somebody help me??? thanks

 

scroll down a little

you should have swapped out the motor mounts to poly when you had the manifolds off. it makes it a very easy job with nothing in the way.

my engine barely moves 1/4" now when reved up, my ypipe is about 3/8" from my frame and i've never hit since i installed the poly mounts.

i havn't heard anything about these brackets yet...so take that as you will.

dont buy the mufflex thingey, its for 4'' pipe

i bought one thinking i could customize it

edit- they might make them for 3'' now, not sure

 

Thunder Racing makes a "Bump Stop" hanger. Hope this site works for ya, if not just go into the F-bod Exhaust Accessories section. http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog...&vid=3&pcid=54

 

so do you just clamp that bump stop hanger onto the ypipe?

 

I would think so. I just re-checked the Thunder racing site, that Bump-stop hanger is a Mufflex brand. But it dosen't specify the O.D. size. You could probably just buy a 3" band clamp and weld one up yourself. Measure and cut up some old hanger parts.

 

I'll be having my Pacesetters and TSP catted-y installed on my '98Z next month and I am concerned about the banging and knocking. Do you think this bracket really works and is worth it? Or the poly. motor mounts?
