Where to find headers like these

Ok well im gonna do up my exhaust and I wanted either a pair of hooker or hedman shorty headers but I cant seem to find a pair without the AIR stuff and something that includes a Y-Pipe. Any ideas? Ive tried searching but I didnt find anything useful to help me out. Would I be better off going with 2055's and getting the air pipes cut and holes welded? or is there a decent system out there that already comes like this with a Y-Pipe? That would be the easier route for me.

I bought the HEadmans shortys out of jegs with out air pipes, and the matching y pipe. They are right in the catolog.

To the best of my knowledge, the only y-pipe out there that is 3" after the two banks join is the Hooker 2055. And, the only headers out there without A.I.R. that have a y-pipe available are the Hedmans mentioned and Hooker 2460. And, the 2460 y-pipe is only 2.5" after the banks join (intended as a non-emissions replacement for LG4's & LO3's, I guess).

When I no longer needed to go through emissions inspection, I chopped off and welded shut the A.I.R. pipes, then had them coated.

Yeah I was looking at those but the ones without the AIR system doesnt come with a Y-Pipe according to their website. Can I order the Y-Pipe seperatly from them?And what size is the the Y Pipe?I defnitely wanna go with a full 3 inch exhaust.

How much do you think it would cost for a shop to cut them and weld them? Since I believe those would be cheaper then the Hedmans but would it be worth it after I got them cut and welded.

I have the 2055's i cut the tubes off and welded them shut. Also people have said u can buy the y-pipe seperate for the 2055's but it was hard to come by and kept going on backorder.
