Local exhaust shop can make you a y-pipe and step down to your catback.

The Texas Speed Y-pipe just slips together so you could put it on at home. As far as connecting your catback to it, that just depends on what tools you have available and your experience with that.

well i'm fully capable of doing it on my own but i would like to know what size the flange is on a stock catback system. for example i can buy a y pipe with a 3 inch outlet or one with a 2.5 outlet or one with a 2.75 inch outlet and i would like to know what one would be the correct size to bolt up to my cat back...
