Default Who sales a complete catted Y Pipe ?

just replaced my intake gasket on my 02 2500hd 6.0 fixed the cold start issue.
but i still have a rattling cat,was looking to possibly just buying a whole y pipe kit from magna flow
MagnaFlow 93622 - MagnaFlow Direct Fit Catalytic Converters - Overview - SummitRacing.com

i dont want to hack up the exhaust by adding a partial kit.
thanks
Ed

Why are you looking for a y pipe anyways? The HD trucks came with factory dual exhaust into one muffler.
check before you buy...

the cats on the 2500 hd's are 2 parts left and right side if your not redoing the exhaust you need to find out exactly which one is bad

Sorry, just wanted to bring it up. Some ppl dont know this. To me though, seems the easiest thing to do would be just replace the cat. You're not hacking it up really.
