How much are you looking to spend? Are you ever going to get headers?

because you can only push so much exaust into the turbo exaust housing. the more air you can push out of you motor [ie headers]the turbo is an exaust restriction which would negate the affects of the headers.

My Local muffler Shop looked at my Y pipe and told me about 180 installed for him to make it and install it..Instead of paying 180 for the part plus labor to put in

You can find Mufflex offroad tubes to replace the
cats alone and use a stock or SPL Y-pipe. These
go for not much less than the full ORY, not such
a deal except for those who are smog serfs and
need to swap cats back on annually.

Mac, Bassani, make ORY pipes for stock manifolds.
Bassani makes them for both '98-'99 and '00-'02.

For the hassle and price I think you'd be better
off with a used Mac setup, headers & ORY, these
are all over the place and for cheap as people step
up to long tubes.
