Default What to do for a Y

Well as it states I am not sure what to do for my Y pipe right now. I have Pacesetter long tubes and a Hooker cat back. I know I could just get a TSP Y or the pacesetter Y but when I installed a freinds pacesetter's and TSP Y I was not impressed at all with the merge. So I was planning on having someone custom make a Y pipe with the flowmaster merge but I have come to find out that he is pretty busy right now and on top of that is laid up right now due to incident with grinder and fingures is there any other Y's that don't suck that willl fit my pacesetters??? I have everything to start driving the car again except the Y pipe and I am itchin to drive it since it has been off the road for 3 months and I have only owned it for 6 Thanks

Are you planning on running cats? Without them it's gonna sound like ***.

NO cats and it shouldn't sound that bad I sold the loud mouth off the car and bought a hooker cat back. But anyway I am looking to get an ORY.
