SSAutoChrome headers
Whats a good off road Y-Pipe to use with these headers? I just purchased some of these headers and I would like some input about a good Y-Pipe that will fit.

SSAutoChrome is what they were know by when they were selling on eBay. They're now called "XS Headers" and are no longer auctioned on eBay. You can get them via a sponsor on LS1Tech. Do a search and you'll find a couple of recent posts where the sponsor has chimed in. He has a couple different other products coming out soon that work with the headers (such as a catted Y and duals).

i have the SSAutoChrome LT's. No issues for me to date. i bought a 2-piece Pacesetter ORY, so i could have it modified to fit. worked great until i swapped the SLP LM for TSP TD's w/SLP LM resonators...

i got a brand new, uninstalled 3" Y pipe that came with the ssautochrome (xs) header system. the more i think about it the more i want to go to a true dual setup when i finally install the headers, in which case i wont need the y pipe. it's made of 321 grade (higher than most 304 grade systems) stainless steel. since it was sent with the headers as a kit, i'm sure it will fit better than buying another, lower quality y from some other company and trying to hook them up. also, why go with stainless headers and not get a stainless y to go with it? anyone who's interested pm me and let me know and we can talk about the price.

The headers sold on Ebay for like $250 are not SS Autochrome or XS headers. They are copies. Notice the notch in the flange. Anyways, the TSP Y won't work. I have XS headers and bought a TSP Y and it wouldn't fit without modifying it. There really is no Y pipe that does fit. Been rumored that the Jet Hot Y fits, it did for Tainted on LS1 tech I believe. The XS Y pipe doesn't fit either. I've read dozens of complaints on LS1 Tech about them not fitting. Here's a pic of what we did to the TSP Y to make it fit.
Whatever Y you use has to bend down right after the driverside collector. Fwiw, my friend has Jet Hot long tubes and a Jet Hot Y and his Y does bend like this, seems plausible that it may fit seeing as how the headers (XS and Jet Hot) both use the same design. The XS Y pipe is copied from the Pacesetter Y () so no wonder their is fitment issues.
