I have an ATR Y-pipe on my '96. Its 2.5" at the headers
and merges into a 3" collector. Stainless steel, mandrel bent.
It has a bung in it for the O2 sensor also. Its actually for a
'95, but with some massaging of the exhaust system, it fit on my '96.
(It exits just before a crossmember, so I had to have a tube bent up
and around the crossmember.) I'm not sure if they still make them or
not, but I think they are all CNC bent so if they still have the
program in the computer they might make one for you. Unfortunately,
I do not remember the price. And I think I recall something about
them drastically raising the price shortly after I bought mine a
few years ago.
If all else fails, you can probably have an exhaust shop
build one for you. Probably a pricey way to go though. If
you do go that route, it would be a good idea to have a nickel-ceramic
coating put on it for no other reason that to help keep it from
rusting out. (Unless they build it out of stainless of course...)
I assume you already have JBA (or similar shorty style) headers
which is why you are asking the question, but if not, I would
recommend taking a look at the Mopar headers which have longer
primary tubes and include a Y pipe.
