Question Does Anyone Make Y-Pipes Like This?

I need a new Y-pipe since I got new headers, and my old y-pipe doesn't fit. The new headers are 1 3/4 x 3 Pacesetters. Does anyone make ones already made like the one Pat G made with the 3" to 4" merge:

You are going to have to hook up with a good welder for something that nice. I don't think there is an off the shelf y that's 3"3"into4".

I had my own built. Ordered a 3" to 4" Flowmaster merge from a magazine and put several pieces together.

Not the nicest but it works well. I believe the merge that Pat G used is made by LG Motorsports and cost multi-hundreds of dollars because of it's high quality and scavenging ability. The Flowmaster merge was only like $40.

Yeah me too. The only problem with that is that not all headers are the same. So it the y-pipe needs to be made for the headers.

If you want one just like mine, you should contact 98Aggie here on LS1Tech. He's the one who built mine. He can custom build you one too.

Thanks for all the responses. Hopefully my car is running this week sometime, and I don't want to be running around with open headers...
