Jegs has them. All will be around $200. If you have a welder you can build your own as I did.
See this thread....you will also pics of the one I built.

Be sure to look at that thread...I have the detail on there, but to summarize.
I built my own mandrel y with a few parts from summit....about $80....and good day of fitting and welding. Wow...what a difference. I purchased 2 2.5" u-bends, a magnaflow merge collector and one stick of 4 foot 2.5 pipe. No cats.

Lightning Shorty Headers....that is why I used 2.5" pipe. There is a difference in flange sizes from the shorty headers and stock manifolds (much smaller).
With longtubes you would have to crossover later behind the tranny and then merge....it would be a much different looking y pipe, but it could be done, I'm sure.

You would probably have to run the driver's side pipe straight back until the rear of the transmission, and then cross over to the passenger's side. That is how the Lightning guys always do it, but they are 2WD.
This is mine, decided to ditch the front tank and go with true duals. I have since ditched the tips, as they sounded like crap

Yes, you won't be able to do that with the front tank still there, it's right behind the trans crossmember.
