Default Not sure what to do

Here is my predicament, bought a truck with no exhaust after the y-pipe. The previous owner also took the liberty to cut the y-pipe just below the stock manifold but above the O2 sensor. Best price for a new y-pipe is $250 used. Or I could buy a set of headers and y-pipe from speed engineering for $675

What everyone's opinions on buying used stock y-pipes with cats? Is it worth the money or should I just save the $250 and put it towards the headers?

Speed Engineering long tubes are 349.99 on their site for 1 3/4" primary and the Y pipe. Add about $50 for shipping..... convert that to CAD and you are at $525..... not $675. I just ordered a set of their headers off of ebay ( because their website doesn't allow shipping to Canada) and I was at $351.80 USD shipped for the 1 7/8" with gaskets and bolts with no Y pipe..... The exchange sucks but not that bad. I don't know where in Saskabush you are but I am North Eastern Alberta and that's what it was.

And honestly..... Kijiji is your friend here for a Y pipe.... I could get you that junk for like $50 any given day of the week.... there is no reason to pay $250 for a stock old buckets Y pipe and cat's.
