Default Stock Y with LTs?

Just traded my old car (95 Firehawk) for a 99 T/A, the T/A has pacesetter LTs, ORY and Hooker cat-back...it seems a little raspy, I was wondering if I can get the stock y to work on the LTs without much trouble...the ORY bangs the hell out of the floor as it is so I can deal with it if the stock y does.

How does it sound?! LOL sorry I cant help you out but I am having LTs installed with a hooker ORY pipe, and hooker exhaust. I'm a little worried about it being raspy and too loud! I know it was very quiet with the stock manis and cats though...

no, you cannot. you can however purchase a catted y-pipe or have a good exhaust shop put cats on the ORY.

Well the cats are a 2.5 inlet/outlet right? the pipe is a 3 inch so it won't exactly work right will it? BrandonSS, it doesn't sound bad, not to loud I wouldn't worry, when you really rev it up its a little raspy but not like my old Loudmouth with SLP headers

have you ever seen long tube headers? and the stock exhaust setup? if you have, you'd know they're not gonna bolt up. period.

You could go with a true dual setup....

Well I'm not really looking for a true dual set up. Yes i've seen both set ups, I know they can weld to downsize the pipe so it mates with the cat but the question is will it affect the flow that much?

Texas Speed has a catted y-pipe that will work with the Pacesetter headers.

It might be possible for you to make the stock y-pipe work, but you would be better off putting your money towards an aftermarket y-pipe with cats. They aren't that expensive and would not hurt your power output like a modified stock pipe might.
