I *just* fixed this problem on my truck. It cost me $12, and about 2
hours. Dremel the 4 bolts holding the Y pipe to the headers, lower the
Y pipe, grind off the flanges. Buy 2 2-1/2" flanges, cut them in half,
weld them around each of the header ends of the y pipe.
Or pay meinike to do this...

Looks like the driver side, where the exhaust connects to the header. It is really rusted up where they are bolted together, and thats about where I'm hearing it. I'm not sure how it connects underneath as I haven't dropped the skid plate on it yet. I'm a little worried about driving it like that as well, having all that hot exhaust dumping right into the engine compartment.
