    This looks similar to the '85 4V HO Y-pipe, but the tubes look smaller. '83-'84 maybe?

    This looks like 85 to me, but post a pic of the nameplate on the small light off cat, that will help to confirm the year. I believe the main cat is the same 83-85. This may have value to someone in an “emissions” state or just someone wanting to go back to stock. Do the cats still have the honeycomb inside?

    Yeah, as I recall you can't get a direct look at the honeycomb on the small cat. The following thread has some good info on the differences in y-pipes. The 83/84 pipe should have a number like E3ZC on the small cat, whereas the 85 pipe will be marked E4ZC. Also, the earlier pipe had holes on the edges of the small cat welded body flanges. I don't see those in your photo and based on the look of the pipes, I think it is 85.

    Confirmed, that’s an 85 y-pipe. People are looking for these. Good luck with your sale/trade.

    Yeah, '85 4V HO. The CFI cars don't have the light-off cat on the passenger side pipe, and they use
    a slip joint connection to the main cat vs that flange.

    That insert was used because the '85 pipes are larger than '86-up, and it can sometimes be tricky to
    get them to mate up, particularly if you're trying to compensate for that missing 1" of flapper valve.
    Cheers,

    Here are the headers. Not in too good of shape. Still looking for a set of stock and a off road H or X pipe.
