Default Y-pipe Help

I just bought JetHot lt's from a friend and need a y-pipe for it, but I'm not sure about which one I should use. I know that some people don't like the JetHot Y because of possible bad quality or something of that nature. I have heard of several people using a Hooker Y. Anyone have any experience or knowledge to share? Thank you!

I would get a custom one made from an exhaust shop. It should cost you no more than $150-200 if you bring them your parts (cats and a y-collector). That way you can save money and have a custom designed ypipe that should fit better than the jethot ypipe.

the jet hot fits the ebay headers so the ebay y pipe would work. not recommending anything but the jet hot lts one of the headers tilts up a little bit. There is nothing wrong with the jet hot y.

mufflex or qtp, or custom one with flowmaster y merge. These are the best flowing y pipes, custom ones are usually not mandrel bent though, however, they fit better.

It's hard enough getting the QTP Y on QTPs. I doubt it would fit.

Well the deal fell through, I may still get the LT's but it's gonna be a while if I get those. I guess I'll start looking elsewhere. I did have someone who used a JetHot y on his LT's say it was the best fitting/tucking y-pipe he has seen. I'm sure it varies some...
