Jegs has hedman# 68470 headers and ypipe# 17470, both for $98.00. The headers are 3" output, my question is about the y-pipe. I'm assuming it is also 3" output. Can anyone verifiy.

I'm planning to run these headers in to a yet to be determined 3" hi-flow cat and 3" single catback with dual outs. Any reccomendations here?

Also, any commnets on these headers. Quality of construction/fit/performance etc. I realise they are not SLPs, but they are much more in my price range.

I had ordered those originally. When they came the headers themselves looked great, but the Y-pipe was only 2.5 inches where it went into the cat. I could have had an exhaust shop take care of this, but I was leary about cutting on a new product. So I sent them back, and got some TES's. I really liked them. I now have the heddman full lengths, and a custom Y-pipe. I have $250 in the whole setup.

That is what we got for our 82 Z28. The headers are great but the Y-pipe leaves much to be desired. after we put the motor in and got hte headers bolted up we could not get the y-pipe to bolt up. After I got to looking at the y-pipe I found out it was 2 1/4" pipe from the headers into a 2 1/2" pipe to the cat (or in our case where the cat is supposed to be...lol). We ended up taking it up to the exhaust shop and having a custom Y-pipe made that is 2 1/2" off of the headers in to a 3 1/2" pipe to the offroad pipe (that is 3") and that is conected to the MAC cat back that is 3" the rest of the way back. the system as a whole sounds awsome and we are VERY happy with it !!!!

How much should i expect it to cost to get a y-pipe made at a good exhaust shop? Any reccomendations of shops in northeastern ohio?
