Default Mac Ory

I have a whisper lid with their cold air kit, and a TSP Rumbler. I'm short on money and don't think I can get header's anytime soon. So I wanted to add a ORY to liven' up my exhaust tone and just wanted to make sure the Mac ORY will hook up to my stock manifolds.
Thanks

I think it depends on what year. GM changed some things with the cats and y-pipe. But no matter what year, somebody makes an ory for you, the earlier models are more likely to require welding than the later models. Also, you may want to look at mufflex cat replacement pipes... turn your existing y into an ory without spending so much money

I'm going to Speed Inc's open house and Tom said he'd sell the Mac ORY to me for $175 so I can't beet that price.

I like mine, bolts up fine. Sounds great. Use lots of wd-40 on the bolts from the manifolds to the y-pipe. That will be your biggest problem. I painted mine black with some hi temp pant and there holding up.

How do you think my exhaust will sound with the MAC ORY and my TSP Rumbler exhaust?

Except Speed Inc's selling it to me for less than $200 plus if I buy headers then I still have to buy a y so it's not really the same price.
