Good Y-Pipe for my Hooker 2055

So as most ppl know a while back I got hooker 2055's installed on my 84 z28 the y pipe that came with the headers seems a little to small in diameter(2.5") Would it be worth upgrading to a complete 3" Y-pipe?? If so what are some good ones out there?

PS: Im going to be lowering the car soon with some eibach sportlines will I have clearance problems?

Ummm the 2055's have a 3 inch outlet on them already. What you want to do it grind out the collectors on the headers themselves to 2.5 but be mindfull where you gring to not cause a leak due to the ball flange has to set up just right.
