  You can get a bolt-on Y pipe (designed for a '95, but works OK on my '96)
from ATR for just under $300. (I got mine back when they were still $180)
JBA also sells Y pipes for a few different model year Daks. I forget what
the price is, although I do know its cheaper than ATR. (There is a group
buy going on on those at the moment; there might be some info on the group
buys page off the DML home page). The ATR is stainless. I *think* the
JBA's are stainless. $600 is definitely a rip off. Another DML'er (Andre,
I think?) bought a Y from Summit or Jegs and had a garage custom build a Y
pipe using it. I forget the cost, but I don't think it was as high as $600.
