A good Y pipe for my headers?? Ok, so I went to the speed shop to install my hooker headers, which cost less then $300. The shop will do the install for $500, plus $300 for a Y pipe?
This seems a bit steep...
I'm sure I can get a much better Y pipe here, my only question is, what Y pipe will work with my headers??

I thought $300 for the Y pipe was a bit more alarming. Most places have quoted me 500 to 1000 for the header instal.
I also paid $800 for a dyno tune.
Anyway, my main question is if there's a generic Y pipe that will work for my headers or if I need to go with a Hooker Y pipe?

Texas Speed just released their off road y-pipe in a stainless version, and I've been hearing really good things about them. Here's a link where you can see their ORY and Catted Y together. http://www.texas-speed.com/c-75-headers-y-pipes.aspx
I know these are made specifically for Hooker and Pacesetter headers. Plus, the merge on both y-pipes is way better than the Hooker y.

For 300 it had better be a custom one! I would find a reputable exhaust shop and have them make one with a Flowmaster merge. It'll flow great and eliminate most of the drone. Do it right the first time and you wont have to worry about it down the road.

My SS had a Borla catback only on it, and I thought it sounded great. The WS6 I went to look at had long tubes, catted y pipe, catback, and was loud (relatively calm at idle though) and sounded great. No rasp that I heard really. I still think I will go with TDs with no cats though.
