Default Will this "ebay" Y-pipe work with my headers?

https://ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-m...0-shipped.html
My current y pipe is rigged and Im getting gassed out because of all the leaks lol. So I'm looking for an alternative, if I can save $50 by buying this one and not the pacesetter y pipe then I will. I have pacesetter headers (offroad versions). Basically does anyone know if this will be a snug fit or will I have to butcher the crap out of it? Don't really want to buy it if I'm going to have to chop it up. I have a Magnaflow catback. Car is a 95'
Thanks!!!

Pacesetter Y...



our y...



Their's looks a little longer... I'd say worst case you have to add some 3" to one of the sides but it should be easy...

i bought an e-bay stainless y-pipe a couple months ago, not sure if its the exact one, but it looks the same. mated right up to my pacesetters. then had a shop install my magnaflow catback. he had to trim a little off the back of the y-pipe to get it to line up right. charged 80 bucks to install the catback and weld up all the joints. hope that helps, wish this deal was around earlier, think i paid a little over a hundred shipped.
