    Need help finding a Y-pipe for 81 Camaro.

    Hey guys,

    My buddy is working on a 1981 Camaro Z-28. He's been trying to source out a Y-pipe Walker part no. 42566, but keeps coming up short like it doesn't even exist. The car is not in drivable condition to have this Y pipe made at a shop, tires are shot, plus it's not plated or insured.

    Any help where he can find this piece or if it's even available, please let me know.
    Thanks!

    Google search shows no one has stock.
    You try Camaro specialty store / shop for used?

    Quick search, looks like a unicorn.
    On upside, headers are cheap as are dual exhaust kits for that ride.

    Would make sense, right... The owner wants to retain the original configuration.

    I have a y pipe from a mid 70's caddy - that could work with a little tweaking - it's in excellent shape the car had has 80,000 on it - may need to find or use smaller flanged ends for factory camaro exhaust manifolds because this was on a big block - it's yours if you think it can work - the High Commander would love to see more junk disappear before we become featured on the Learning Channel's "Buried Alive"!
