Default Y-pipe options

right now I have a BBK Y-pipe bolted to BBK longtubes and the problem I have is that the BBK Y-pipe is a little short and thus wont make a clean connection with my SLP exhaust..


does anybody know if any other Y-pipe will fit with the BBK bolt flanges (not slip fit with band clamps)

right now its hobbled together with a coupling piece and two 3 inch band clamps that I know is leaking somewhat..

I have the same issue. I had the coupler welded to the ypipe to eliminate one leak point, but beings that the stock style cat backs are necked down at the connection, its still not sealed properly. Im pretty sure the BBK are the only ones to use the ball flanges, so probably not going to find another ypipe. Easiest thing to do would be to have the I pipe end expanded to 3", and weld one end of the add on coupler to the ypipe.
