Default y pipe question

hey guys, i just acquired a 96 trans am m6. and it came with a set of headers, pacesetters to be exact. and the guy is also gonna give me a hooker cat back from a 99 trans am. so my question is will a y pipe from a thirdgen or any fourth gen work? or do i have to use a lt1 style y pipe? thanks alot and i must say i love this low end torque lol

The y pipe you're using on your LT's will fit the hooker catback, some cutting might be required. But your Y pipe should be slipfit for a 3" intermediate pipe... So you're fine.

Will I be able to order Jet Hot LT's with their ORY and get Carsound/Magnaflow cats and put them on there with a cutout?
