Y pipe for Jet Hot LT's and SLP LM

Hey all, question. I am going to be doing Jet Hot LT's, I have the SLP Loudmouth sitting in my garage. I am NOT doing cats. My question is what of road Y-pipe will bolt directly onto the LT's and the pipe on the SLP LM without cutting anything? Thanks alot. Anyone ever do this?

chances are there is no Y pipe that you can buy that will bolt in without some sort of modification.

From what I have read, the hooker has fit some cars, but not all. I have not heard anyone that was able to bolt on the mufflex. The hooker from what I have heard bangs on the floor board under accelleration once it is fited. I have a set of jet-hots awaiting installation as we speak so I have researched this a good bit. I called a performance shop in the area and was told $300 for a fabbed Y pipe complete with flanges and everything custom fitted for the car. You have to remember that as the cars get older the motor mounts sag a little and so every engine doesn't sit the same. This is one reason why a lot of people are having problems from what I have heard. As much as it sucks, it looks like I am going to have to have a custom one made as well. I was thinking about the hooker though. Some people had good luck with it. However, it would still require a pipe to go from the cat-back to the end of the Y.

I just talked to Jet hot and they sell the hooker Y pipe coated and it bolts right onto the headers and right onto the end of the SLP Loudmouth, the Loudmouth has a slit and bendable end so it fits inside the Y pipe and clamps up, whatcha think? I am gonna go with the hooker Y i think.

I have a Hooker y-pipe from Jet-Hot going to a LM exhaust. They just needed to cut a bit off of the I-pipe, because it was a little too long.
