So which one do you suggest? Or will both work well?

nevermind, I checked the links on my computer and could read it better.

so do I need 2 in total? and just weld the y-pipe connections together once i've got it together? or do every joint and order 5 v bands all together??

2 for header to y pipe and 1 more if you want to fab up the peice that goes under the trans to remove just that section if you drop the trans

I used the stainless band clamps from summit and they work great. Had one that leaked slightly after about three months, but one of the bolts just loosened a couple turns.

That's a good idea.

I ordered the ceramic coated ones. Am I safe to mig weld those? Just grind the surface I'm welding and use my normal heat settings for exhaust pipes? Or should I decrease the temp a bit?

Mig is fine, an normal exhaust setting is fine. Weld the outside and inside then take a flapper wheel and smooth the inside welds

ok sounds good, I do happen to be pretty good at welding /w my previous mini builds, got real good with a mig by the end of a full shaved dime haha
i'm gonna order those tonight so that they can get shipped tomorrow and i'll see them around the same time as my headers
