I installed a set of long tube headers from bbk, but the Y pipe is that same diameter as my lm1 catback. how did everyone fix this?

My lm1 end was just a smudge smaller I was able to pull the y pipe over the catback end and then had it welded. I actually think we put a clamp over the catback end and clamp it down super super tight to close it in some.

I took the y pipe to my local exhaust shop and had them expand the outlet a little, slips right in and have a band clamp on it.
