Question about Y-pipes

Do they have y-pipes, to connect my dual cat to the exhaust. I wanna get a dual 3 inch in and 3 inch out. Is there any place that makes them?? I wanna get a whole 3 inch system from the headers to the exhaust.
Thanx,

Flowmaster offers this one but it's not 3":

If you have to have it all 3", looks like you'll have to go custom.

just to clarify, flowmaster makes a y-collector, not a y-pipe for our cars. it is just a piece that merges 2 pipes into one. i am using one, and it is very beneficial. it would be pointless to have a dual 3" to single 3" y-pipe. you are simply giving up a lot of clearance because you cant have as sharp of bends and the pipe is larger of course. dual 2.25" or 2.5" into 3" would perform just the same, and you wont be losing any ground clearance.

Because

The reason I'm wanna get 3 in. is, beacuse I already bought the flowtech cut-outs and the mccord plate. Which are 3 in. and I'm gonna be putting them before the cats. So, I can get the open header sound when I ever want to. I dont wanna be going 3 in. then 2.5 and then 3 in. and then 2.5 in. I wanna keep the system all clean as possible, with not that many welding.
Thanx,
PsychoGTA
