Default Y pipe Help!
I need advice on a y pipe for my slp headers I have the "tuned length" (newer ones) that I bought basically new, but they didn't come with the y pipe. Does anyone know of any pipe that will match up to these? They will be going on a 99ss with gmmg catback.

You could buy a nice merge in 3" (dont remember brand.. magnaflow??) and have it build from there in stainless. The merge is like 40 $

I would do that but the exhaust shops around here don't do stainless steel, and there is only one that does mandrel bending and the prices are way over the top.

You could probably make TSP's y pipe work, it comes in several pieces so there should be enough adjustment in it.

You can buy the Vibrant Y-mergers from Summit Racing.
The price might seem high, but they're probably one of the best stainless steel Y-mergers and believe it or not they're priced less than many of the comparable SS mergers. Now if you're not wanting SS then get the Flowmaster Y-merger.

These look really good but I rather buy one that's pre made, if I find one. I don't want to have a shop fab me one bc I don't really trust the shops around here.
