Dual cat y-pipe

Stainless works makes an offroad pipe for the dual cat cars. Runs $199 at summit. Not the greatest fit, but worth it in my opinion.

Why do you want mandrel bent? Your local shop can fab one with dual cats for a lot cheaper than you can buy anywhere online...they just use a mandrel bender to form the Y to your headers...

Yeah you'll run into a bunch of people that won't touch a car without a catalytic converter on it. You just need to find the guys who will simply "do it on the side" and pocket the cash. In my case, I got it done ina county that doesn't have emissions testing so I had no problems...

Actually, they can make a custom ORP for you but they wont bolt it on for you possibly. Mention that you just want them to make it and trial fit it. They don't want to be responsible for doing something illegal in some shops. But then again, why are shops welding in cut-outs? That's illegal as well, same as tinting side windows. You just hae to get them off their butts, they actually don't care...it's all about you getting what you want and them making their money. It sucks cuz all the shops where I live charge alot of money. Don't go to places like Midas or a corporate chain. Go to Mom & Pop places. They'll do it without asking and even get excited doing while telling you racing stories..
