Hooker headers question I found a good used set for practically nothing but without a y-pipe. They have the 3-bolt flange after the collectors
if I cut the flanges off, is there an off-the-shelf y-pipe that will fit these?
I dont know the part# but they're the off-road version and have the #1 primary that comes off
TIA

It really shouldn't be that big of an issue. You could put the headers on and get an off the shelf y-pipe to an exhaust shop and either have them weld on some flanges to the y-pipe and bolt it together, or you could have them cut off the flanges and use a y-pipe like the one linked. If the y-pipe doesn't match perfectly after cutting off the flanges, it should be little work to an experience exhaust welder to get it to work.

bleh, he sold 'em before I even had a chance to ask for pics
I've just heard the flange ends up scraping and not holding a good seal so I was wondering what y-pipe would slip on if I just cut the flanges off

I never had a problem with flanges dragging, perhaps if you've lower the car a bit. I threw a set on my beater car for cheap, just bought a Summit X-pipe kit and me and a buddy welded her up. I think I have $350 in my exhaust from head to exit.
