Personally, I'd take it to a performance custom exhaust shop and have a mandrel bent y-pipe made up.

Helps if you say what brand of headers you have,as they all use a differant Y pipe.
It's getting hard to get a catless midpipe these days,you might be modding a catted one,or doing as CanuckRam states going to a decent exhaust shop,or if you're semi handy,buying a universal mandrel bend exhaust kit and building your own

I have some leftover mandrel 3" from my last turbo kit was just hoping to buy something pre fabbed looks like I gotta break out the welder

Well if you post up what brand of headers you have,we might be able to help you. I'm guessing with your lack of giving us a name,you bought some ebay headers,if that's the case post a pick of them

 

[bonnyjliss]

Yeah she bought eBay headers she knows I've used them a ton of times on different cars. They work great never had a problem

well is started installing the headers not the hardest but not the easiest.

i cut off the flanges and doing it ls1 style with band clamps. i need to fab a y pipe

shouldn't be hard i think its going to turn out nice

i did the drivers side first gunna try to finish it tomorrow

Make sure you check the clearance around the fuel and brake lines on the drivers side frame rail,you can move them up,if the headers are a bit close to them. I'd of wrapped the headers,as i'd rather replace a set of headers every 10 years,then fix heat cooked wiring/hoses every 5 years,but that's only my opinion and experiences. Even coated they still radiate alot of heat

got the passenger side header on, and got the o2 extensions on.

whoever thought it was a good idea to put the o2 sensor plugs on top of the transmission with little to no slack in the wiring should be kicked in the nutz

the oil dipstick was kinda a pita to put back in

going pretty smoothly though none of the bolts were even remotely like they were stuck in the head, the gaskets looked new so maybe it leaked before

i fabbed up a y pipe, its tac welded. i'm going to weld it together tonight need to take a break

 

[bonnyjliss]

I got the y pipe all welded while I had some free time

Going to try and finish everything tomorrow

 

[bonnyjliss]

Well it looks good and is ready to start

 

[bonnyjliss]

Wel it's done sounds nasty

Had to put some heat wrap around the shifter cable

 

[bonnyjliss]

It's going to need a bigger muffler. The thing on it isn't really even a muffler

I insulated the heater hoses on the passenger side.

Also another reminder on the brake and fuel lines , on drivers frame.

You didn't have to clearance the primary close to the steering shaft? They look pretty good being Ebay. I was thinking of doing those too. My fab skills for the y pipe aren't as good as yours ...

 

[bonnyjliss]

I didn't even notice until I was putting the driver's side inner fender on how close the steering shaft was, it clears the header runner by millimeters but it seems fine.

I also installed that header without disconnecting the shaft

My wife didn't realize how much goes into making long tubes work correctly on fuel injection lol

I have a Diablo sport tuner but I'm going to need to buy some hptuner credits and sell the Diablo tuner

Im getting the O2 codes about response time, I can change the timing or disable the codes I have the old mpvi device so hopefully I can still do that I know recently they changed it so you cannot disable emissions codes

The rear O2 are fine with the spark plug anti foulers so far

Also it has a tiny maybe 6-8" long straight through "Muffler" which basically doesn't do anything so I get the headers + no cats horrible smacking exhaust sound at part throttle which I know was going to happen.

I have a 3" in/out flow master super 40 I took off my turbo Dakota I'm going to put on

With the flow master it will sound really good

 

[bonnyjliss]

With the brake lines I just put a zip tie around them to move them further away from the header they weren't touching but were close they are maybe 1/2 inch away now

Go make a sharp right hand corner while accelerating slightly,if the headers are going to hit the steering shaft,that's the way to tell

Nothing a Socket and hammer cant fix

 

[bonnyjliss]

I had to buy 6 credits ughggg 2 for the pcm and 4 for the tcm. Annoying. But whatever

I changed the O2 response timing but I also disabled all the relevant O2 codes
