Depends on how good you are with a welder and sawzall/chop saw.

I made my own y-pipe for my truck because it was cheaper and I was able to make it the way I wanted it.

Bought some mandrels bends off ebay. Actually, all you really need is one U-bend so you can cut it in half to make two 90's.

For the y-pipe I used a Flowmaster Scavenger Y, but you can go for the cheaper Magnaflow, or if you have enough patience make your own.
