You will need a pipe to connect to your Y pipe that also to goes over the axle and connect to your muffler.

I installed my pacesetter long tubes, y pipe, & hooker cat back system all together and had all necessary pieces, but the crappy clamps leaked badly so I went ahead and had it welded.

You do realize that the loudmouth will sound like *** with the headers right? I don't know from personal experience but that's what nearly everyone here says. You might do a little research and decide on a different exhaust system. I ditched my flowmaster cat back system when I installed headers and went with the hooker system since it is reasonably quiet and flows quite well.

The Y-Pipe is made to connect up the the existing cat-back.

Have you heard, in person, a loudmouth equipped vehicle with no catalytic converters?
