Default Pacesetter Longtubes & Y with stock catback?

This may have been addressed before, but I couldn't find any info.

I'm thinkin' I have an exhaust leak, so I'm thinking I should "fix" it by getting some Pacesetter LTs and a Y. Now, if I wanted to mate this to the stock cat-back, what would I need to do? Can I do this myself without welding? I'm thinking/hoping that I can just pick up a 3" to 2.5" adapter (is the stock pipe 2.5"?) and maybe cut the stock pipe down to length. Would this work? Would the stock pipe line up?

Most aftermarket y-pipes will slide right into the factory and most aftermarket catbacks. This allows aftermarket catbacks to work with the factory y-pipe and the same for aftermarket y-pipes. It should be an easy slip fit deal. We have Pacesetter coated header and TSP Catted-Y for $689.99. I should have them in stock and ready to go! Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks for the quick reply. So the stock pipe after the Y is 3"?
