You can get the slp factory replacement y pipe but its not worth it. Save up and get long tubes with a y pipe.

Changing the y pipe will do nothing for sound or power, just make your wallet lighter. If your dead set on it, Mac makes a nice ory for stock manifolds for 98-99's. What year is your car?

None. Go to an exhaust shop and have it fabbed up. It will generally cost less than 250$.

good advice...ALSO--IT WILL CHANGE THE SOUND A FAIR BIT--LOUDER/DEEPER....did that a couple years back...but I also removed my cats..lotsa people thought I put headers on with a stock muffler or equivalent. if you can't do headers/or don't want to /yet..it is a very good alternative..I was VERY happy with it at the time..

I have stock manifolds and cats with the SLP y-pipe and loudmouth 1 cat-back. I noticed a much deeper cleaner sound after installing the y-pipe. But I bought it used from a friend for cheap I wouldn't spend $200.00 for a new SLP y-pipe. I could not feel a real noticeable difference in performance I am sure I picked up a couple horses. But I am much happier with the sound it got rid of some of the rasp from the loudmouth.
