well since I screwed up my stock y pipe and can't find any shops in the area that can help me out, I might end up going the long tube header route with ORY. Now my question is that my exhaust is cut about 5 inches behind the stock cat converter location so there is about a 20 inch space between the back end of the exhaust and the stock y pipe. My question is this; will the ORY used with long tube headers be long enough to close the space? Sorry if this a confusing description I'll be able to get pictures in the morning to help.
Thanks for the help guys

Chances are not good, considering most y-pipe setups are designed to come CLOSE to where the factory exhaust begins.

Either way you're going to need it welded, unless you jury-rig some band clamps (which would likely not hold up very long).

Put the headers on then just have an exhaust shop put a straight pipe in the gap?

FWIW, I'm running on open y-pipe off of lt's right now

There really is no such thing as a bolt-on exhaust, and those that claim to be usually have bad fitment problems. You are just going to have to call around to see if someone can help you out getting the exhaust fabbed up. Most well known shops will not do that kind of thing because it's illegal to move/do away with the stock converter. Stay away from shops that do state inspections. There are members here from NC so maybe they can chime in...
