Long tube headers are longer than factory manifolds so I don't think a factory Y will work. Would have to get shorty ones to keep the factory Y.

Your google Foo is weak.
Yess there are a few. but they are expensive.
Grab a pacesetter Y pipe and have cats welded in.

If u have a good exhaust guy he can make a y and put some high flow cat on for u. Dont go cheap get the California cats if not u will get codes. Or have him cut up your y and use your cats

the headers are pacesetter. I found the y pipe without headers for $150., the magnaflow cats for $108.. that's what is was thinking making a new y pipe with new cats or use my stock ones.

what would yall do buy new cats or use the stock ones. any diff. in the magnaflow cats?

thanks.
