Default Seriously Flowtech??

i just installed flowtech headers (used) but when i was looking at the ypipe i noticed that where the driver side pipe is connected to the passenger side, it just looks like someone took a hole saw to the PS pipe and just welded it on. i dont even think it is the right sized hole. i dont think this would cause much of a problem but its a 3" pipe. im deciding if i want to take it to a shop and pay 100 bucks to get this one little thing fixed.

if its as bad as you say it is just get it fixed right. It will be in the back of your mun if you dont. Get a good merge pipe.

Used is used, unfortunately probably better off buying new if you had to spend cash to fix stuff.

my guess is the hole is a 2-2.5" hole.... the fitment of the headers was perfect. the ypipe was about an inch off (it was alittle bent) so i had to get that fixed. i just dont want to spend the unnecessary 100 bucks for labor just to get this tiny problem fixed if its not serious. i mean i only paid 180 bucks for the headers, ORY, o2 extensions, gm gaskets and jegster subframe connectors...

Its hard to give you good advise other than what was already said without seeing your problem.
