Offroad Y's are 300 from kooks...over 600 with cats. If there's nothing out there I'll just get one with cats...

Ebay/OBX headers. Mine are stainless headers, 2.5" Y pipe with 'Cats'. Great for visual inspection states. Love my headers and great ground clearance!

Yeah I saw those...only problem is I don't want the egr/air hookups...if they didn't have those, I'd be all over it. I like the way the y pipes come in sections...seems like it'd make for a better fit.

Then block them off...all I did. Seriously, these headers/Y has insane ground clearance (never scraped on anything) and flow awesome. Hell, with just a dynomax bullet there isnt too much rasp until 5K RPMs, great merge as well.

GOod deal man, just keep in mind it is a 2.5" Y pipe, so its very close to the BBK design, not as big as the other headers.

Hmmm...the seller of the auction I was looking at said "1 3/4 with 3" ypipe" when I asked him about that. Guess I gotta ask for clarification and then research what the compromise would be from 1 7/8" with a 3" ypipe.
