Borla help needed...
Does anyone know where I might find a stock size 2.25" Borla Y pipe for an '88 or another supplier that makes the stock sized Y in 304 stainless?
Borla still makes the 2.25" inlet mufflers but they quit making the Y in that size.
They advised me to look on EBAY but that was no help.
Thanks!

Hmm, that IS a good question. A quarter inch in diameter, is an eighth of an inch on each "side" (all around). It might just be do-able, altho that seems like a lot. Maybe not tho. Tell us how/if it works!!!!!

I sent the question to Borla. I'll let you know if I try it. Im thinking I might be better off to sell the mufflers and get another set with the Y pipe instead of risking splitting them. 
I'm sure they could be repaired with a heliarc easy enough but what a pain....
