y pipe trouble

Hi all

I have a 1997 ford f150 xl, extended cab, 6 cylinder 4.2L engine. The trouble i have is the converters are gone in my y pipe. I need to replace the y pipe but it is about $800 canadian to do so. Does anyone have a cheaper alternative to buying the y pipe or a good site where i can get a cheaper pipe. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

take it to an american exhaust shop and they should fix it for a fraction of that. for $500 you could get a custom stainless exhaust complete with headers.

Yeah, just get some good quality universal type cats and find a shop that will weld them in. If your existing pipes are already in good condition, this is a cost effective approach.
