Default where to get decent 3"-4" y merge

Hey everyone I am trying to find a decent merge collector to re-do my 3" y pipe off my headers. After a little research it seems as though this offers pretty significant power gains over the the hooker 3" ORY. I checked summit, jegs, lg motorsports, and even googled the damn thing. I cant seem to find a 3" to 4" y pipe. I read the pat g writeup on 500rwhp with just heads and cam and I am thinking that I am leaving power on the table with the exhaust setup I have right now. Anyone know where to find this merge collector?

You can get one like Pat's from Burns Stainless, but be prepared to pay a steep price for it.

I built a 3/4 Y using the flowmaster collector. I went with a bullet on after that. I think the whole thing installed and all was a total of like 200 bucks.

would they need the car to do that? or could it be done without the vehicle there? You think this should cost about $200-ish?

Most definatly go with the flowmaster merge... they have a 3" to 4" one. I went with a 3" to 3.5" then reduced back down to 3", as my cat-back is only 3". I had a local shop (FLP) add this merge to my TSP ORY for me and the reducer installed for $200 bucks. This included parts and labor cost.
