Best Y-Pipe for 88 TPI Manifolds?
I'm looking for single cat y-pipe options to be used with the factory L98 TPI Manifolds on an 88 GTA.
Currently I've found:
Walker 40439, looks to be the most "factory" and cheapest.
Magnaflow 16450, seems to be a better design, double the price of the Walker.
(Are there any other options?)
This is for a 100% street car, so max HP isn't required - Mostly looking for what will work best fitment-wise, I do have the metal spacer that the TPI cars had for the passenger side manifold, but that may not be required with either? I'm not sure.

I have the magnaflow, it’s a nice quality piece and definitely better than factory.
