If the borla y-pipe hooks up to the stock manifolds/cats I don't think there are any headers that will fit it. Might have to try to sell the y pipe and use that money towards the headers/ypipe.

sokr915 is correct. If that y pipe connects to the stock manifolds it will not be usable with lt's. Just find a set of long tubes you want and buy a tsp or pacesetter ory and you'll be good to go.

I've looked on ebay for long tube headers and 3 looked ok, if anybody knows or have used these please let me know, one set was from a company called DNA Motoring, the second from Mirage Power and the third is a Pacesetter set, all three are stainless steel and the prices are not that bad from one another
