I got mine from ebay. Seller is redlineperformanceengineering.com
There's more now. They put them on ebay all the time.
And for the y-pipe, I plan on taking it to a muffler shop for a custom y-pipe.

Just ordered my set from redline performance engineering, came to $548 shipped for the ceramic coated LTs, no emissions, and Y pipe.

Does any one have good pictures or where to go to find some pictures of these Headers and y-pipe?

Since these headers don't come with flanges, couldn't you stretch the y-pipe where it meets the collectors and use band clamps to seal them up?

If you turned the band clamp so that the thick part is parallel with the gound, I would think that you would gain about 1/2 inch of ground clearance, PLUS not have to worry about gaskets, or bolts backing off or anything like that. Just seems like it would make for a cleaner look, PLUS be easier (less labor intensive than welding flanges and such in place).

That was what i was thinking, but i am kinda worried about crushing the collector getting it tight enough. I will try it anyways

With the proper stanless band clamp, it will close around the collector and seal long before the collector crushes I think.

Use stainless band clamps, not those u-clamp deals.

That's how they're made....the Y pipe is flares to go over the collector, and they use a pretty bigass clamp. Here's the setup on an LS1, but generally the same idea for the Y-pipe.
