Y Pipe for 2005 E450?

I have a 2005 Fleetwood RV on an E450 cutaway chassis. The gated lot that I store it at got broken into and 6 RVs got their cats stolen, including mine. They hacked up the exhaust pretty badly and now I'm looking for a replacement y pipe too. Everywhere I look I only see y pipes for trucks that don't match at all. Does anyone know where I could find one? It's the pipe that runs from the manifolds to the cat I believe. A diagram of the exhaust would be helpful too if anyone has one.

Have you tried the dealer?
Once you get a part number you are half way there
I enjoy factory exhaust
It's clean and bolts together
In your case I'd hit a muffler shop and have them bend up some pipe and repair your exhaust
Probably quite a bit less expensive

I already have the local dealership ordering and eventually replacing the catalytic converter but they're a joke. Unfortunately they're the only ones around here that will bother replacing the cat. I was just wondering if there would be any possible way to get that piece myself, but I guess I should probably just let the dealership take care of it with the insurance claim instead of buying that part out of pocket. I already miss how quiet the factory exhaust is, but at least I don't hear things rattling around inside anymore.

All you need is some big bulky metal, welded around the cat flanges
That will be enough extra work to discourage the thieves hopefully

Thats part of the plan. I don't feel like waiting 3 months for an insurance claim and a "backordered" cat all over again.
