1998 Y pipe

[opcfan]

I have 1998 3.0 with a leaking y pipe. I went to the junkyard but all have had the y pipes cut and unusable. I thought I would just go to the parts store and get a new pipe but nope Walker does not list a part number for the y pipe. I check the internet and found out they want you to put in a y pipe with cats right off the exhaust manifolds (very expensive). Has anyone ever run into this situation before and how did you fix it. I know I can take it to a muffler shop and have it repaired but looking for other options.

Thanks
