Default Another cracked Y-pipe

Does anyone know of a company that sells an aftermarket performance upgrade to replace my factory Y-pipe? I've read the Ebay has one, but they are currently out of stock. Can anyone tell me of another company that makes one? My Y-pipe broke completely in half in 2 places, and the drone is unbearable. I'm looking to get one asap. Thanks for any help!

I've only ever seen 3. OEM, ebay w/cat, and ebay w/o cat. The ebay pipes aren't much cheaper than stock. I had a split in mine near one of the cats, so I went with OEM. That thing is HEAVILY wrapped in sound deadening material. I'd recommend stock, unless you can find a true cat back (front cats) exhaust.

It rusted all the way through. Being low didn't help though

I just had a custom exhaust built last night. 2.5" true dual with an X-Pipe. I'll post pictures later if y'all are interested.
