Question Y-pipe question

Here's the question, I'm looking into headers, but am unsure of which ones to get. In the mean time, I'd like to put on an off road y-pipe to make it a bit louder and add some hp until I figure out what to do. My header choices I'm looking at are QTP or Jet-hot. Is there an off road y-pipe that will fit onto both of them? More than likely I'll be getting the Jet-hot, but since a lot of people are saying they're rusting, I'm actually thinking of going QTP. Any help would be appreciated! I'm new into the header/y-pipe field, so I'm getting my information before I make a move. Thanks!

Wait to get a y pipe along with the headers. I have pacesetters about half the price of QTP with a TSP Y pipe with cats.

You're going to want a y-pipe/header combo that bolt up together and won't require 'refabrication'. You'll also save a little money on a combo deal...

I haven't seen a header/y-pipe combo for Jet-hot, only pacesetter.

I did not think you could get the Y pipe and use it on the stock manifolds. All of the ones i have seen were for LT"s

You can get them, but if you intend to add headers it's best to wait. A good exhaust shop can fab them up too, probably cheaper than you can buy them.

I am running the Mufflex ORY with Jethot LT's. It fits fine. Clearance is good considering the size of it.
