Y pipe for Hooker LT's
Y pipe for Hooker LT's Well I tried asking in another thread and did a quick search but didn't really find an answer. So hopefully i can get a quick answer with this thread. I hope to buy some used Hooker Long Tube Headers this weekend, I just want to know what y pipe I can use. I don't really want to spend the $200+ on a hooker y pipe. Can I use cheaper ones like pacesetter, etc?
You can try something else but there's certainly no guarantee it'll fit. You can't rely on other manufacturers' components to fit together without a problem. If you do go with another y-pipe prepare to do some modifications to get them to fit.
Short version - it always pays to get the right parts.

I'm interested in this as well. Iv heard the pacesetter y fits with minor modification. I had the local exhaust shop fab my y for my hookers and it works but i think there's gotta be a better replacement out there somewhere..
My only problem is that I'm on a highschooler budget. I'm not trying to take shortcuts, just looking for a happy middle between everything. Could this route be done cheaper than buying new? Also if I got the hookers, couldn't I just cut the three hole flange thing off and then use a band clamp to any y pipe?
The hooker y-pipe is probably going to be cheaper than having a decent exhaust shop custom make you a y-pipe. A crappy shop could probably hack together a piece of crap for cheaper.

Verdad Gallardo I figured that would be the case. What about my idea with cutting the 3 hole flange off and using a slip fit y pipe with clamps like other headers? I know most people would just leave it how it came, but I don't see why my idea wouldn't work. Any input on that?
