Default Need y-pipe for '88 convertible

My uncle's y-pipe for his '88 convertible rusted out. Anyone make an aftermarket y-pipe for stock exhaust?

The various Corvette catalogs like Mid-America, ZIP, or Corvette Central have front Y-pipes for stock exhaust and come with or without the pre-cats. Rear Y-pipes are also available with and without a balance tube.

Front or rear? There are both, click the store button at the top of the page and goto the C4 exhaust section. To save on shipping, he could just have a local place fix it.

I just bought a magnaflow front y pipe from a dealer locally. I believe summit racing also sells them. Seem to be a good unit, fit with no modifications.

I picked one up from the local muffler shop last year, They had one in stock and had it installed in about a half hour. Good luck.
