HOW DO I DO THIS???
I have this Y-pipe, and a pair of shorty headers for my 1985 camaro berlinetta. This is going on a 350 motor soon to be dropped in. I have no clue how to put this y-pipe on my headers. I need illustrations, please help. MY y-pipe is almost identical in shape to this picture im attaching. I will also attach a pic of my headers (close appearing). This exhaust used to be on a 1987 camaro with a 350 motor, so i know it works. But i dont remember how the exhaust was installed in it.

ok....
Ok,i just read my post again, and it seems i conveyed the wrong message. Obviously there are collectors/reducers on the y-pipe that will bolt up to the three bolt holes on each header. The problem is, how will this exhaust be routed through the engine compartment??? I have the y-pipe and the car, but the headers are on the other end of town with my buddy dropping i the motor. And i was standing with a couple freinds, trying to figure out how this y-pipe was routed through the engine compartment and under the car towards the back, and still attached to the headers???? (kinda hard when you dont have all the peices of the puzzle) We couldnt figure it out. So i was hoping someone could show me their setup.

Using the picture of your y-pipe from left to right...
the left most flange bolts to the driver's side header collector right next to the oil pan. then the pipe goes under the oil pan. the passenger collector bolts to the next flange, near the starter. then, the rest of the pipe to the right of the picture goes rearward under the passenger seat to the catalytic converter (or where a cat is supposed to be).
