Default Off Road Y Pipe for 2011 6.2

I was searching for ORY pipe to fit my factory manifolds and did not find anything available however I did find these on a Trailblazer SS forum. Very nice craftsmanship and design. They have cats but that was an option. I wish I could find something like these as opposed to headers. I'm primarily looking for a better exhaust note and my factory 3.5" would be great if I could eliminate cats without cutting my factory Y pipe. Just thought I would post to see if anyone might know where to locate one.

your best option is to just make your own. the tbss is a different frame rail design/transmission is different so when you get that high dollar Y pipe you will have to cut and weld it.

just make your own with mandrel bent pipe/v bands or ball flanges

That is what will most likely happen. I've looked at Y-Pipes for headers as an option but the only ones I see with the 3.5" factory connection are either Kooks or ARH about $400 new. Figured I could find mandrel bend SS tubing and slip fit with v band to the Y. My local muffler shop said that I would need the factory flange for drivers side that is difficult to find other than cutting off a factory Y. Anyone know where to order one? If I could find a used Kooks or ARH Y it would be great, otherwise can't say I'm willing to put $500 into a catless ORY.

I want to keep my y pipe for when I end up selling the truck. I've considered calling some junk yards for a factory 6.2 pipe but never took the initiative. I guess it's time I get off my *** and do something.
