Default "Y' shape cold air intake

Anyone know what options there are for buying a "y" shape cold air intake pipe? I have a 61 Impala with a 2002 LS1 and LS6 intake. I want to bring 2 cold air pipes into the intake. Any ideas as to what options are available? I checked Summit for example but I didn't see anything.

Thanks! Deane
BTW, I'm not new I was registered under longboard with a different email, but can't update because my email changed.

Check out a company called spectre. They make a y pipe that is 4 inches in diameter. You could get them online at jegs and summit or at Pep boys if they have them in stock.

Deane, check out Street & Performance, they offer exactly what you are looking for. They are a huge source for LS related parts and the quality is top of the line. Mark Campbell, the owner of S&P, is a super person to deal with. Here is their site, http://www.hotrodlane.cc/

Hope this helps,
Mike

Mike, that's what I was looking for. I have their '06 catalog and that item is not in there.

Thanks!

There are several listed on ebay from 57$ up including filters. I wanted to do that on my 65 cutlass but I didn't have enough room between the maf and radiator. I ended up using rubber y pipe for a sewage drain and plumbed in pipe to acheive dual ram ait thru my out side head light openings.

That's even better rockytopper. However, I can't find them. I searched under new parts ls intake stuff, but no "y" stuff. Would you be so kind to send a link?

BTW is rockytopper a Tennessee person?

Yea I was going to call it a "RockyTop" but a friend brought a soda pop to work and it was called RockyTop so I changed it to RockyTopper.
Now you know the rest of the story.

And there is a very well known VOLS sports guy Known as RockyTopper.

If I ever get my ride finished I might cruise the smokeys some day.
