they haven't put headers on yet so they probably are using factory manifolds. one of the upcoming issues they will be putting bassani headers on it.
just a little more info on the y-pipe. it is all mandrel bends and merges into a 3" pipe.

Other than this system, which is probably a test mule for developement. Is there any other brands out there that make a direct bolt-on y-pipe system for our trucks? I mean I know that a few places like Dynatech and Stainless works have catted and offroad y-pipe setups that go with their headers. I'm not planning on headers for my Z71, but have always thought that the stock y-pipe could be improved upon with mandrel bends rather than all crushed in bends, and high flow cats couldn't hurt.

I saw that article too, looks like a direct replacement for the factory y-pipe that could be used with factory manifolds or shorties. Guaranteed it aint cheap. IMO, if I'm going through the trouble and cash to replace the y-pipe with something else I'd want to have the benefits of long tube headers too. I guess that it's good in states where emission compliance for inspection is a big issue though.
