Cutom Fabbed Y?

im going to fab up a custom cattted Y and dont know if these parts will do the trick?
-Flowmaster slip on reducer cones Part# FLO-R3025...3" inlet/ 2.5" outlet
-Cat-Co Slip Fit universal cats Part# CT0-6906R...2.5" inlet/outlet
-Magnaflow Merge Y pipe Part # 10768 (do i need a 2.5"inlet/3" outlet?)
im using magnaflow catback and dont know the diameter of the catback's I-pipe.
Since the pacesetters have no flanges, do i use band clamps to connect the reducers to them?

The Magnaflow is 3" at the ipipe.
Why are you using CatCo Cats? Magnaflow/Carsound cats are much more proven cat.
I would imagine band clamps would work just fine...
Are you doing it yourself completely or taking the parts to a shop? If the latter they should be able to connect it.
Flowmaster also makes collectors for ypipes

What do you mean by this?

I mean if you are taking it to a shop they should be able to figure out the connections.

But I guess you are doing it yourself so that's a moot point...

The flowmaster collector is 2 x 2.5" for the ypipe, then 3" collector for the ipipe, so that should fit up with the Magnaflow catback (3") just fine. If you are going to be running a 2.5" ypipe (sounds like a good plan) then you would want to go with the 2.5" carsound cats.
