Question Which 3" off road y pipe would work best with Kooks headers?

I have Kooks 1 7/8 headers and was thinking about what 3" off raod y pipe to get? I heard Kooks are nice but where the y comes together it doesnt flow that good, well not as good as a flowmaster y collector? I am also worried about clearance since my car has the Eibach prokit and dont want to bang them over every bump.

I'm not tryin to be a smart ***.. But the best ORY for Kooks LTs would be the Kooks ORY.

If you don't like the merge, you can always replace it. However, the Kooks ORY looks better than alot of the other ones that are offered.

I went with the Kooks ORY with my Kooks headers...the clearance is great with the Kooks ORY...they flatten out the driver's side section for additional clearance...here's a pic:

Thanks!

Yeah...they're Kooks stainless 1 3/4" coated with Jet Hot sterling. I really wanted a stainless ORY, but Kooks didn't offer it, only aluminized...so, I painted the ORY with VHT Aluminum High Temp...if it doesn't hold up, I'll probably get the ORY coated, too...

I know your not trying to be a smart *** cause its always better to get the headers/y pipe from the same company but some people might have better results with others? By looking at LawmanSS's picture it looks great! So has anyone tried any other y pipes to go with Kooks headers?

LawmanSS how much did you pay for that y pipe if you dont mind me asking?

The Kooks Y-pipe flows very good.The flattened part does not affect power.
