Yeah, you can get the stepped stainless band clamps from Jegs or Summit. You want the preformed stepped band clampes because the y-pipe is slightly bigger than the header collector and the stepped band clamp will hold much better. The slip fit vs flange is a personal preference and there are advantages and disadvantages to each setup. I think each works well so I wouldn't pay any extra for one vs the other.

I've already taken my y-pipe back off to make an adjustment with my cat-back and it came off very easy. I would much rather have the slip fit and it gives you a little better ground clearance as well. Just don't use the crush style clamps that come with the headers.
