Mating exhaust to exhaust manifolds

[KDML]

I am going to redo my exhaust system. I still have the original Y-pipe which I would like to replace, with something that tucks up tighter under the truck. In addition, I am going to stay with the stock exhaust manifolds.

The end that bolts up to my exhaust manfold looks like the attached picture. Anyone know a source for an end like this or something else that will work? If it matters I was thinking of stepping up to 2.25" pipe from the stock 2"

Thanks
Doug

I ran into the same issue when I built my exhaust. I searched high and low and could not find any source for head pipes. I also went to several exhuast shops that didn't have a clue and basically wanted to hacked together something. I finally stumbled onto a header shop that knew exactly what I wanted. They had the right dies to crimp the end in.

I'd recommend sticking with 2". You want to keep the velocity up maximize scavaging.
