Hey you running those ebay headers...
Hey you running those ebay headers... Hey everyone looking at getting some ebay stainless headers. Wondering what you did about the y pipe though because most sets I am finding are for just the headers. Not looking to spend too much seeing as how the headers are under $200. I am looking to run a catted y off the set sold be ap1ap2, or do you recommend a different seller also? If you could let me know about fitment issues you had with the different types/sellers that would be awesome.

My set for my LT1 fit just like any other header, but the Y was a royal pain in the ***.
It had to be cut just to fit, and it still leaked after clamping. I wouldn't buy one if I had the choice.
That said, I am planning on getting another set of just the headers for my LSx project right now, and custom make something.
These ebay Y pipes are not worth the trouble.

My buddy got a set for his ws6 think they were 189 bucks,his were ss and fit great and still look great,we had luck that a pacesetter y fit pretty easy ,we had to mess with the y a lil but it was way easier than putting my tsp ory to my pacesetters
I can't speak for y-pipe fitment. I was originally going to get a lsxtreme y, but that's when the seller really started screwing everybody over. I started reading up on other y's, and it seemed like a good number of people were having fitment issues regardless of brand (both headers and y). I ended up going with eBay stainless true duals, fitment was great! But then again, it came in like 7 pieces, so it was very adjustable friendly. Anyhow, I paid about $700 for my whole exhaust. And other than having one cat being problematic, I'm very pleased.
ok i was a little hesitent to buy the ebay headers and i ended up doing it. theyy look great the welds are awesome no leaks i used a TSP y and it fit perfect no issues no banging rattling nothing i am very pleased and still look great after 3 years so thats the setup i recommend. just my .02

The ones my buddy got the y was a slip fit and clamp,when he showed them to me ( he didn't tell me they were 189 ebay headers) he was like look I got a set of kooks,I was like sweet man,all jealous lol,and got a lil closer and thought they were lpp, they looked really good,the only issue the egr tube is crap,we cut it and stuck a plate over the top,the welds looked solid,like I said 2 years his still look good,the heat gave them a lil color but nothing out of the norm,better than my rusty pacesetters,
yea i think its the way to go especially for under $200. Im trying to save money anyway i can on the build, while still putting up some nice numbers. Now if only they were to ever build that track that i have been hearing about all my life out here on long island i would be set.
For those who asked, I have pics in this thread...

Also, the only thing that was welded, was the turndown tips. Everything else used stainless steel stepped band clamps.

About 2 weeks ago, I re-adjusted the whole system. I was able to set it up a little higher.

Did you buy headers similar to...

I am debating ordering these. I already have a full borla catback exhaust. Would you recommend ordering a Y-pipe of having my exhaust guy make one/order one? Are new O2 sensors/any additional parts needed? Seems like some great headers for the money.

I bought my ebay headers and a TSP ORY. Because of the upward angle of the driver's side header, the TSP y-pipe didn't fit at all. I had an exhaust shop do a little work on it and it's much better now. Didn't take too much and was pretty cheap, just had to change the angle of the y-pipe coming off of the driver's side collector.
