Your stock Y-pipe will not fit with the headers. You could have an exhaust shop custom make a Y for you, but it will only save you a little $$$. My advice, save up for headers AND Y. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

LOnSLO is right. Any headers will not fit your stock y-pipe. Except the shorty headers, which are a waste of time and money.

If you look under your car next to your oil pan on both sides is your cats. The LT's will end up past that point and the stock y-pipe will not even come close to it.

I think the Hooker LT's only have a offroad y-pipe. So you'll need some o2 simms.

Peace,
Craig.
