I realy want to put headers on my camaro, but dont want to change too much. I was wondering if there are any headers that fit to the original y pipe. I dont feal like modifying my entire exhaust to put some headers in. Right now I have 3in all the way through with a 80 series flowmaster and no cat.

 

Then you don't really need to be buying car parts. Not intended to sound like a jerk.

Also, original y-pipe is 2.25"
which is terribly small.

 

I dont understand what you mean by that first comment. anyway, my y pipe must be different from stock, it is a 3in y pipe. But it appears to be stock.

 

Go look at your Ypipe, is it crush bent? If so, it's the stocker. If I were you, i'd get a set of hooker 2055's. Great headers, and a good y pipe. It would be foolish to have headers, and a aftermarket catback with a stock y pipe.

 

LG4 y-pipe vs. L69 (and L98). Now you can see why, in part at least, the LG4 is such a slug.

Hooker 2055's, 3-inch mandrel bent all the way to the muffler.

even if you COULD use headers and stock Y, you would get no performance benefit. Now instead of the manifolds being the bottleneck, the y pipe is.

 

my y pipe sure looks like the larger of the two that you have in the shot. I measured it and it is a 3in and is mandrel bent. But it fits my stock headers, so I would probably have to change my y pipe anyway to fit new headers.

NastyL98_T/A-I see what you mean about the bottleneck, it does not make sense to just do one and not the other.

 

If your current y-pipe is indeed 3" than it should be easy to slip on the 3" y-pipe that certain kits come with. I would look at the hooker 2055's, SLP's or Mac's. There aren;t any headers out there that will mate up to the stock style collectors. You will spend less in the end if you just get a kit that comes with a new y-pipe.
