I bought mine from jet hot. It was a hooker that was coated for $248 shipped.

A lot of people suggest fabricating a y-pipe if you weren't planned on getting a coated one because it'll fit the best for your specific car.

I got the my y pipe that match's the hooker headers, needed a little bending and such to get it to match with the jet hot longtubes.

Yea i was gonna do that too, but where I'm gonna be working on it is kinda far from any muffler shop, let alone one that I know and trust. Plus I want to stay 3 inch all the way. So a pre-fab doesn't always fit perfect?

I have the Mufflex ypipe. It's pretty good, but make sure you get it welded, don't just bolt it up. Plus, do yourself a favor and stress to the guy that he weld it as close to the body as possible. The guy who welded mine left about 2 inches between the car and the pipe on the drivers side, it hangs too low.

Also, the Mufflex is 3" on each side of the Y. Since only half the air is on any given side, I think it's safe to oval the pipe slightly in the areas that are low.
