Yea if these headers cant be repaired I think im gonna pick up those stainless steel ebay LT's. I talked to a few guys on tech and they said that a pacesetter Y is a good fit. 175.00 for the headers and another 150.00 for the ypipe you cant beat it.

Good price, but just be prepared to deal with crappy fitment.

The Pacesetter y-pipe is either 2 or 3 pieces vs the TSP y-pipe which is either 4 or 5 pieces which may allow for more adjustment but also opens it up for more potential leaks. The other thing to consider if you plan to add dual cats is that the Pacesetter y-pipe has a couple of flattened sections and adding cats in those areas is a lot more difficult. You would want to get most of the joints welded up after making sure the fitment is good anyway. Just don't weld the y-pipe to the headers!

I wont be doing any of it, live in an apt. and have no tools. Yea I dont know why the original owner welded it. I talked to 2 guys on tech that said w/ the pacesetter no finaggling was needed at all...direct fit.
