yes, but in the past when i've done this i found it best to slip fit the cat over the header collector, then have the y pipe cut accordingly. it should fit fine, clearance sometimes is an issue but to pass emissions for now it should suffice and someone should be able to tuck it up decently.

if the y pipe is tack welded to the headers or anything like that, just cut the sections out of the y pipe on both sides, it should fit without much hassle.

Good luck
