Any headers bolt to factory y-pipe?
I found a good deal on some hooker competition headers, but they will need a custom y pipe. Before I buy em I was wondering if there are any that will bolt straight up to my factory, single cat y-pipe. I know it will be more restrictive, but I'm not looking to have a full blown drag car.

Doubt you'll find any that do. The manifolds are made really close and tight to the engine. Leaves no room to bend and route the individual tubes for the headers. I just put on a set of short headers and it's a really close fit all around. Real piece of work to build those I'm thinking.

I don't think there are any that bolt straight into your factory setup. You can probably steal an aftermarket Y-Pipe pretty cheap though.
