Doesn't the Edelcrap headers come with their own y-pipe? Or do they mate to the stock y-pipe? I forget...

I hope you didn't pay for those headers. And I also thought they had their own y pipe for those headers.

i dont think he was asking what our opinions were on the headers. he was asking what Y-pipe he needed.

but i agree that Edelbrock probably supplies the Y-pipe and i doubt any other brand will just bolt right in.

Pretty sure they don't come with a Y as they are designed to mate up to the stock catted Y. Might have to remove your current cat and put in a straight pipe.

I just returned a new set of Edelbrock single cat TES headers to Summit today. They came with a Y pipe that connects to the headers with 2.5 inch donut gaskets. The headers were made nice but I decided not to use them.
If you have been using them then you know about the supplied y-pipe. I couldn't find a ORY that had the correct ends to mate up with the Edelbrock collectors. The Edelbrock y-pipe has a 3 inch outlet that is enlarged to fit a pipe into it. You could weld in a staight pipe to replace your cat.

Default Ok Guys

Thanks for your input! BUT, I had asked about and OFFROAD y pipe! The Edelbrock shorties do come with a ypipe the retains the stock cats! I am looking to delete the cats with an OFFROAD Y. Dont wanna dig to deep and spend to much on headers and a new Y. These headers work good for my application and I just want to do the OFFROAD Y. Now, anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!
