The SLP Y-Pipe for stock manifolds fits if that is what you are asking about. If you are asking about a y-pipe for headers, the x-brace may be a minor issue.

I had to beat the SLP Y a little, and the X-brace a lot, to get
rid of banging and even so it was a first class bitch to hang it
right. Lots of shim & crowbar effort. But it's about as close to
"fits" as you're liable to get.

You'll be ditching the X eventually I expect.

Can I put a different cross member in besides the x or does that hurt the suspension?
