Default ok, i dont know how to do this.

well when i put my LTs on, i want to have the whole exhaust bandclamped. i have everything welded on right now, and im concerned about band clamping my cat to the pacesetter Y pipe. then i have to figure out how to clamp the rest of my catback onto the cat. my cat doesnt have any pipe on the ends of it.. well i think it doesnt.

does the pacesetter Y pipe come with band clamps?

You're not thinking of using the stock cats are you? That's no-bueno.

Your best bet is to just buy a catted y-pipe. They usually come with slip fit connections and either U-bolts or band clamps. You can always swap them out with bandclamps if you wanted to.
