Your choice is OE. You might consider headers "with" Y.

There is one choice besides OE: MAC. It's a nice one. But Hawk's is showing a long backorder on them. It can also be purchased directly from MAC(for the same price), but the wait would prolly still be long.

Maybe I should have said OE or OE replacement. The $170 price tag seems a bit high when the Hooker 2055's and Y can be had for $450. Each to his own.

I got one directly from MAC and it only took 5 or so days to get. This is within the last month I got it. Its a nice piece and fits well and much better overall design then the factory one.

Granted. Which is why I said, "Each to his own."
