Y-pipe for hooker headers

Hello everyone I'm hoping somebody on here can give me a hand with an exhaust problem. I recently bought hooker super comp long tube headers part # 2138-1HKR. I'm now in the process of figuring out what I need for a y-pipe. I also bought a magnaflow 3" cat back and a car sound 3" converter. The headers have 2.5" collectors. I'm looking to run 2.5" pipes from the headers to the y collector and exit in 3". Are there any companies that make a y-pipe like this I could just buy?


Thanks,

Nick

No, youll have to have one made or DIY

2138's are a VERY special breed of LTs

Re: Y-pipe for hooker headers

I haven't put the headers on yet but it appears its gonna be a very close fit due to where the passenger side header dumps at. I just hope it goes smooth. I bought these thinking I would have the most ground clearance but the more i look at the underside of the car, the more worried I get...

Re: Y-pipe for hooker headers

I'm still having a tough time with my 2138 hookers. We have them in the car but it's looking impossible!! The driver side header points directly at the passenger side a-arm. I don't see how I'm going to plumb the y-pipe to the orignal outlet. I could go above or underneath the passenger header but I would lose a ton of ground clearance. Please help!!
