Take it to an exhaust shop. I'm sure they could cut the bent piece out and weld in a new one. Or even fab up a complete y-pipe for you.

I have the same issue but i have a 302 and i have a y pipe as well. It seems to sound like a tractor when it runs and the sound is coming from the tranny hump in the cab. it's causing a slight loss of power, but has no effect on gas mileage. Any ideas?

its probably a laeaky manifold or a bent y pipe coupler like mine. i found my leak by taking the inner fender well off on the side the noise came from and fired it up and found the noise and felt the exauhst coming out
