I'm getting an NZXT full tower ATX case, I've seen this CPU cooler fit in the mid tower version. I know that it's wide due to the dual fans and will hover over 1-2 RAM slots on the motherboard so I've been looking at low profile RAM.

According to: http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z87DELUXE/#specifications
that MB has 2 CPU FAN headers. But I see now that the cooler comes with a Y splitter to run 2 fans off one header. I'd be curious as to how well that works for you.

Yep. Should. 2 fans on 1 header is what I'm concerned about, tho. Most MB fan headers are only rated at 1 amp or less. But if the cooler comes that way, they must know it is safe. Their fans must be within rated current specs.

I'm checking out Phantek's website and this is all they had to say about the Y cable:
Should I email them about it?

That's up to you. I wouldn't think they'd sell many coolers like that one if the fans overloaded the MBs' fan headers, tho. It's just something I have always been curious about. That, and how the BIOS will control the speed and PWM feedback properly when two DC motors are wired in parallel.

Talked to tech support and they said that unless if I have a third fan I should only need 2 CPU fan headers. If I have to use the Y-splitter it'll run just fine.
