Default ATTN: AZ guys, Help!

I would like to know if anyone in AZ knows of a muffler shop, (preferable Mesa, PHX, or Scottsdale/tempe area), that can/will do a catless 2.5 y into 3in pipe. Or maybe if someone has another suggestion like having them put a flange on my headers and then bend some pipe for me and I fab it up myself?? Thanks guys I appreciate it. Im stoked for the headers

Default Thanks AJ

yeah, I think I found it. Its called R & L Auto Repair right? I think I have 4 options, 1-have them flange my headers, then make me a 2.5 Y 2-Dont flange my headers and weld the pipe straight to it. 3-flange headers-use factory y (minus cats) or 4-dont flange headers and see if they can fit the pipe right up to my headers and weld it. And of course Ill re-use my 3in intermediate pipe and have them flange the Y (if I go that route) +my flowmaster should sound pretty good, I hope...
What do ya think?

I would probably flange the headers and have a custom y-pipe made. If you needed to remove the headers, pipe welded directly to the headers would suck. I would not modify the factory y-pipe either. If ever want to sell the truck, return it back to stock, or smog it, you are going to wish you left the factory y-pipe alone.

Have you looked into catless offroad y -pipes? I know jegs sells them and so does Pacesetter.
