You do realize that you will have to either scrap, or have someone alter that Y to run long tubes right? I think the most popular long tubes are L&L (high quality), and Dynomax. I would imagine that if you searched for long tube headers in this forum, you might get a good idea of whats out there.

I plan on bending my exhaust myself. Maybe it's just the satisfaction of doing it myself. I could get all mine done in under $200. (that includes headers)

Actually MY shop has a dirt floor, no walls and a big oak tree in the center. Get my drift? 
Well i've looked at some and found some decent ones. Some have ranged from as cheap as $200
for a simple hydraulic bender, up to $850 for a more production type bender. But, I plan on using a bender at at our High School Shop to run mine.
I will be investing in more vehicles in the future, and might invest in a bender in the $200-$400 range to run exhaust on those beasts.
On different kinds, i'm not really to partial.
This one looks okay
