the stock y is more restrictive than the stock manifolds are, so you wouldn't pick up much (if anything) on a setup like that. however, i do not believe anyone offers such a header

Whatever you purchase, make it a set: headers and Y pipe. For the best of the options in the after market, check the stickies and/or do a search (though many will recommend Hooker or Dyno Don's version).

I have hooker shorties with y pipe, coated with air tubes etc and they are great, but if I'm honest the y pipe doesn't fit as nice as the stocker.
I'd go with dyno dons if you can, from what I've seen and heard better quality/fitment, bigger diameter (I believe), and I think a better price as well.
Wouldn't even bother with SLP unless you want your y pipe sticking out like a side pipe.
