Default hooker longtubes and y pipe?

I'm looking at installing a set of Hooker longtubes but i need to know whether they will hook up to my factory y pipe or will i need to buy an aftermarket y pipe. I want to keep the cats on. if so, what is the best y pipe w/ cats? Forgive me if this is a dumb question.

For the $250 they charge...You can almost get a true duel with X pipe for that price.

who cares what it looks like, how many people are gonna be lying on the ground in the middle of the road so they can see what your exaust looks like as you drive by?

The real question is how well does it flow.. I just got a custom Y made up for my Hookers
