I actually noticed no difference in MPG, but did notice an increase in high-end power. How much, can't say, the seat of my pants didn't come with a HP gauge

My stock y-pipe had to be bent slightly to meet the header collectors, but not too much.

I'd say, if you're doing headers, do the y-pipe at the same time, that way you won't have to bend anything. I was able to put the e-bay y-pipe on with clamps and didn't weld it - of course, it also leaks now, so I'm going to braze it on Father's Day

I also noticed an increase in top-end power. No record breaking change in mileage either. I can say that the mileage did not get any worse. So that's a win in my mind.
Other than some reporting problems with the Y-pipe mating up, (mine was fine) you still may have to deal with the frame clearancing issue.
