Edelbrock POS header, replacement Y Pipe needed (no longer available)
So before I get all the info about how bad these headers are, I already know this, but they came with the car, are in decent shape and functioning. However the Y Pipe is rusted out and in dire need of replacement. I have searched countless hours for a replacement piece, or one sitting on a speed shop shelf with no luck. I just need to get it fixed...
Does anyone know of a replacement part number, different Y Pipe that would work with these? My local muffler shop quoted me 300 bucks (OUCH) to fab up a non-mandrel bend Y Pipe.
any and all help would be greatly appreciated

Re: Edelbrock POS header, replacement Y Pipe needed (no longer available)
If your y pipe is rusted out on these headers its best to just sell the headers and move on. I have them in my basement now since im about to put a set of SLP's on my car. They really are only a small step up from the stock manifolds to be honest. Just take one look at the collectors and you will understand what i mean. Also the flange where they bolt to the heads is laughably thin. Mine have been off too many times and dont seal worth a damn anymore.

a local exhaust shop would make up something in a half hour for way less than a premade part would cost.

Read his reply guys. He has already scraped the Edelbrock headers, and Installed Hookers with a home made y pipe.
He also had a local exhuast shop quote him $300.

I could make you up a Y-pipe on this car and send it to you.
Cost wise....$230 + shipping.
