Exhaust

[Yont283]

Anyone know where I can find a used factory y-pipe with the converters? Customizing shops?? Please Help!    ???

I'd check with all the local custom stainless exhaust fabricators in the area.  Sooner or later, someone will come in and want true duals put on their truck and the Y-pipe will be left behind...

 

Otherwise I'd check the junkyards...

Thanks, I will try there but most people I know just cut the y-pipe because the truck has two converters. These things are hard to find! ???

I can't remember for sure because I only owned my '00 Silverado for a few thousand miles.  But are the converters actually on the down tubes off of the manifolds?  If so you are right, maybe a performance shop where someone put headers on would be a better place to look...

Hmm, i thought it was called a y-pipe, i could be wrong. The pipe bolts up to the exhaust manifold and then has seperate converters then comes together and bolts up to the rest of the exhaust. I am trying to find a pic of this. I am pretty sure it is called a y-pipe though.  ???

That is the best pic I could find right now.

You are right, it is the "Y" pipe.  I was wondering if there were 2 catalytic converters, one on each side of the Y pipe between the Y pipe and the engine, or if the converter was down between the Y pipe and the muffler somewhere, but I think there are 2 converters one on each side up stream of the "Y"-pipe.
