It's for a V8 but I heared some V8 parts fit just as good on our cars http://www.lmperformance.com/2726/7.html

One way to find out; buy it, try it, and if it works, let us know.

Sure we can use v8 parts, but if the parts are engine specific (as this y-pipe would be), it won't work. That's like trying to put a v8 throttle body on our plenums... or put on v8 headers... or a v8 camshaft... etc, you get the idea. It's the non-engine-specific stuff that works; like distributor modules & spark coils and cat-back exhaust systems (bolt to catalytic convertor, not to engine), suspension/chassis, rear axle, etc...

Anyone seen the Walker Y pipe for our cars? Sure, it's 2.25" but hey - is it mandrel bent?

Part number Walker 40442

My Y-pipe was made by AP, and it's mandrel bent. Paid $180 for it back in 1996.
