Default Piping off the Y-pipe to STS turbo (where can i buy)

I currently have a pacesetter longtubes w/ an X-pipe setup on my camaro and i plan on installing an sts kit on my car. So we all know that the x-pipe has to go. Im going to order the matching pacesetter y-pipe BUT i dont know where to go to get the rest of the piping after the Y-pipe. Can anybody help me find where i can purchase the piping that goes after the Y-pipe and over the axle and then connects to the piping off the turbo?

The cheapest and easiest thing to do is to get a free or next to free stock exhaust from someone (don't forget to wrap it up, now I sound like your father). Long tubes = lag on a rear mount.

Sorry not to get off topic but are you running a 370? I see you have a t76 and with those times that is very impressive and that turbo would be undersized for a 408. You sig says 6.0L is why I am asking, thanks. Also, how do those gears work for ya, never really heard of some running that low but I am not familiar with the gearig in a th400 in comparision to a 4l60e.

Do a search for Zombie's threads... he talks allot about his gears effects and his build. If you go back two or three pages he even has a thread that is called something like "The Zombie rear-mount saga" that will answer most of your questions...

So this woudlnt work with a aftermarket y-pipe? Well, if sizing is an issure, im sure i can just get a reducer off the Y-pipe. Or if length is an issue, i can always extend off the Y-pipe.

I know old but im looking into switching a smaller size ypipe in my setup. im trying to get a premade 2.5" ypipe so idont have to worry about leaks since it seems like I cant find a decent welder. Im still trying to keep my LTheaders lol im stubborn. but Im lso trying to see what the results will be when I got from stock cam to a larger 224ish sied cam with the LTheaders still in there.
my biggest issue is the ory pipe is the lowest thing on the car and scrapes all kinds of crap now that I removed the driver side ypipe support. ts actually ridiculous. even wen I still had the long return pipe under the car, the ypipe ws still the lowest and the wraps are getting shredded looking like crap and looing heat and ultimately spool.
