Y-Pipe recommendations

Hi everyone.
I have to get a new y-pipe and I was wondering what everyone else has gotten. I have seen magnaflow, OEM, and borla but borla seems like they don’t make it anymore. I live in Virginia so no emission testing but I still need cats. Any help would be nice. All so in taking out the old y-pipe I snapped both the bolts holding the y-pipe to the muffler. How can I get those out?
thanks

just measure it and find one that fits on net...Summit racing or jegs has many exhaust parts. you will have to weld the new one in....OR: this and the bolts = easy repairs for exhaust shop....
PS: don't weld the 'Y' in place UNTIL you have the compression fitting aligned correctly...
OR you can purchase a whole new Y pipe w / cats from many sources...but obviously more $$

I have had x2 magnaflow Y pipes. They are 2 piece which is nice for install...BUT, one fit perfectly...lasted like 9 months until the cat elements started rattling. This was out of warranty per summit racing (by 3 mos!!)
... I bought another, and the outlet was pointed down by about 1" at the compression fitting...had to adjust....but the cats have been solid for over a year.....
Not impressed for price......
And since the cast header runners and two into one junction of Y pipe are tight anyway...no big flow gains with 'high flow cats.'
I get great mileage and power with stock 17 yr old cats and stock resonator and muffler on my stock D2....
