a y-pipe and a universal Hi flow from CatCo should work great.

Do they sell Y pipes that will bolt up to the manifolds on our V8's?

Sorry I'll stop hacking this thread and make a new one.

solution

Hollow the factory cat out located inside the y pipe. Then install an aftermarket cat after the y pipe. It will save you a lot of money and work just as well.
