ok....were trying to keep you from hacking up your stock Y thinking your going to gain something.
1. shorties or if your on a budget, get 00+ manifolds
2. 2 high flow cats and put them in the same place as your stock cats
3. SLP Y-pipe, that doesnt have the flat peice on the drivers side
4. if your really worried, get a flowmaster merge and do the mod on the new pipe. but the stock merge is more than sufficient for stock manifolds and a cat back.

Go cheap and do the late model stock manifolds, which are really easy to swap out. You can re-use the stock metal gaskets. You'll get a much better gain than doing anything with the Y-merge.
Everyone's right about the cats ... replace them. Since you have to be C.A.R.B. legal, take your time and look for some hi-flo cats in some junkyards, thrifty nickel, penny Saver, Craigslist, etc ... if you're on a tight budget.
Good luck ... the smartest thing to do is to be patient and save a few $$$ each week from your paycheck until you have enough money to do what you want. I had JBA' ceramic coated headers as my first set and they hardly flowed any better than the 00-02 manifolds flowed. They looked really nice under the hood, but, the money spent wasn't worth it.
