Default What y pipe for ebay headers?

Just curious what y pipe are people using for ebay headers? I've been looking at the tsp y along with the flowtech and edelbrock. However most y's have flanges or are flared out on the end. Are people just cutting those pieces off and adding?
Thanks Dan

I've never had ebay headers, but I would think that
the best route would be to buy a flowmaster or magnaflow
merge & have an exhaust shop fabricate the rest.

I figured I may be able to save some cash for the budget if I did the ebay headers and off road y. However after calling around today I could only get quotes of around $140 for a y pipe which is about what tsp is with shipping. After crunching the numbers tho I came out with

185=headers
40=o2 extensions
140=y pipe
__________
365=system

or for about a hundred more I can do either a complete pacesetter or bbk system from a sponsor, have it be reputable, and fitment will be hopeefully top notch

Just have one made. The flowmaster merge is the best you can get, just pick one up, and have them fab a 3" y. It will flow great compared to most y's, though TSP just put a flowmaster style merge on theirs.
