Here's a quality piece, not cheap, but damn good.

The setup you want sounds good.

Yeah, but I'm telling ya, a nice merge collector at the Y-junction is a worthy investment. Lots of the Y-pipes on the market have such crappy merges, with one pipe just slamming into the other.
If cost is an issue, check out the Flowtech header and off road Y. Same header as a Hooker, but with a flange at the collector instead of slip fit. About $300 cheaper for the LT's.
depending on where you are a custom ypipe can be a good buy if there is someone near you who can do a nice one at a decent price
otherwise i would definately get a flowmaster collector at least

Decide on cats or not, I went with them (for legal & smell reasons). Your hookers should have O2 bungs (pre-cat), custom y w/cats and out to muffler. You'll probably get O2 sims for the post-cat O2's and you can tie those up anywhere so no extension.
Consider 3 bolt flange between LT's and Y pipe.
