if your going to do a catted Y you should look into the catted Y that TSP makes.

i dont recommend getting the flowtech LT headers, i made the mistake by putting them on and the left side leaks, even after having it looked at 3 times, and then they put high temp silicone around it and it still leaks. cheaply made, poor welds, i am not happy with them at all. although they are loud.
save up $$ and get a better brand.

Get the Pacesetters, they have a new design that seems to be much better than the old one, and is still extremly cheap. Of course, getting some QTPs, Kooks, Jet-hots or Hookers would be a nicer looking header, don't expect any gains.

And I thought TSP released the y-pipe the other day?

Between the Flowtech and Pacesetter only, get the Pacesetter. I saw a set of Flowtechs pre-install and was NOT impressed at all. The welds looked for **** and the collecter didnt look good at all. The new Pacesetters look great. If money isnt an option, go the stainless route, if you're looking for the best bang for the buck, IMO go with Jet Hot.
