Default Any issues with the Hooker Y-pipe?

To all who are using or have used the Hooker y-pipe for Hooker long tube headers, how do you like it? Is it constructed well?

Also, is there room to put in cats if I wanted to?

thanks
Wes

I cut the middle part of my HOOKER Y off and welded in a Flowmaster MERGE.I didnt like the way the one pipe was welded into the other...Its perfect now and fits the car like a glove.

I think the construction is very good. Kinda a pain in the *** to install, and the ground clearance isn't the best. However, I don't regret buying it, its working out great for me.

Is the Hooker Y-pipe 3" or 2 1/2". I fabbed mine and have been very unhappy with it. No matter how much I try to keep it off my floor pans it vibrates like a sombitch. I might end up going with the Hooker ORY as well.
Thanks,
