Hooker LT Custom Y Pipe Pics?

I was wondering if anyone had any pics or specs on a Y pipe that will fit hooker LT's and just use 1 cat with a cat back...In other words I am trying to get some idea of what I will need to hook my hooker LT's to where the stock cat is(changing to hi flo) and connect to a magnaflow catback...thanks everyone.

I'm still trying to find an answer to this. Is it just stupid to get a custom Y pipe and put only one cat on it? I don't know what to do...I need it for emissions...any suggestions?

Here is a pic of what I believe you are looking for. I cann't remember were I found it though. I do remember the car had LT's
into a single catback. Looks like he only has one cat also.

This is my problem. I am going to be putting a 97 engine into my 95 car. With the LT's, I don't know if I should put 2, put 1 where it is stock or at the junction of the Y, or 1 on one side? If it is best to put 2 on there, because of it being a 97 engine, and it will be compatible with my pcm, then I'll just do that. If I can only use 1 cat, should I put it where it is on the stock location? Thanks.

you want dual cats for sure. a single cat would be quite a restriction.

So just put two high flow cats off of the LT's and then connected to the Y pipe? Will having 2 cats throw anything off in the computer? Thanks.

If you are using two cats you will be fine. Hell copy it after how i did mine, they were tucked up there really well, never scraped. They make the car SUPER quiet however. Make sure you use some heat shielding over the fuel lines to protect them

You will be fine with the computer, only problems you may run into would be OBDII and no cats, which isnt your case.
