Racing Innovation headers Y-pipe

Hello, I have Racing Innovation 1 3/4 Long tubes on my car. I hacked up the Y-pipe from my SBC Headman long tubes and I don't like it.

My question is does anyone know if Hawks Y-pipe will work with these headers? They look like pretty identical designs so I would think so, but thought I would ask before ordering.

Thanks, Ken

Not directly, but cut and weld to fit, sure. IMHO, all of hawks Y-pipes need to be modified

Why not have a local exhaust shop build a better Y-pipe?

Cause in Germany shops that would do anything not OEM are few and far between. There's only one shop around me that I think would be interested in doing it, and I'm guessing it would cost in the 400-600 Euro range.
