y pipe help
so i have a 1996 ford f-150 4x4. roller block. i have a set of bbk short tube headers that i am putting on it soon. and i’m re-doing the exhaust. i am having a hard time finding an after market y pipe to use. i have seen people use the manga flow and the bassani but i would like some other opinions on some other possible options that maybe are less expensive.
wanting to replace y pipe because my cat leaks and i figured it would be easier to just buy a new y pipe rather than to cut the y pipe before the cat and merge the two pipes back into one.
in a perfect world i would just run a pipe pipe from each header going back but with my driveshaft being right there i don’t really have room.
am i better off to build a whole new y pipe? modify the one that i have? or buy a new one? idk. i’m open to every and all opinions. just looking to see if anyone is thinking of something that i’m not. thanks in advance

Actually, the guy I bought the 351 sold me everything which included the engine, the engine perches, engine bay harness, and H pipe....

The converter that fits that h-pipe can be expensive since it is not as common as the single inlet like the Bronco/F-150.
That Walker y-pipe will also need modified to move the front O2 sensors to the factory location. Then a third one will need to be added behind the converter. By the time you add the modifications to make it work, you might as well go with a 1996 specified y-pipe/converter setup.

As far as the specified cat con, they aren't that bad price-wise.....https://www.ebay.com/itm/Eastern-Cat...8AAOSw8V9bUB18
BTW I have no check engine light issues with my set up and thankfully KY has no emissions testing....

Your truck uses only one O2 sensor, that you did install. There is no provision for measuring converter efficiency on your truck so you could have eliminated the converter completely and the computer would still be happy.
