headers with stock y-pipe?

You can do the headers and Y, then move to the cat, and finally the catback. Have a plan, however, so that everything goes together well. I wanted a direct-fit three-inch system, so here's my set-up: Hooker 2055's (Jeg's 520-2055). Catco high-flow converter (Summit CTO-9118). Hooker catback (Summit HOK-16823HKR).
