Any other headers fit the SLP y-pipe?

I have a nice set of SLP shorties with the AIR tubes and I don't want to use AIR. I'd like to keep the SLP y-pipe if I can. Does anyone make a shorty header that works with the SLP y-pipe?

Why not just cut off the air tubes and weld the holes closed. I did that to my edelbrocks years ago and then ceramic coated them. It worked great.

No, headers and y-pipe are a matched set and only fit each other.

Are SLP headers for 3rd gens rare animals? If so, I'd be inclined to leave them as-is and cap the AIR tubes. IIRC, SLP uses 304SS for their headers.
