I don't know of a perfect salvage yard solution, maby someone else will chime in on that, but i wound up just welding together this Y-pipe.
I used a 2 into1 Collector and some pipe sections from summit racing. Didn't take very long and i made it fit perfectly.

You can create your own. It's a lot of back work if you don't have a lift, but very satisfying when you're done. Find some stock flanges and build back from there.

I used the 2010 Camaro exhaust manifolds on my swap in the 73. I bought the Camaro cat delete pipes. They had the O2 sensor bungs already in them. They exited past the trans mount.

In my 1978 k10, 4speed manual, 205 tcase, I ran the stock truck/Tahoe manifolds and downpipe but had the drivers side cut, rotated, and rewelded before the o2 sensor to clear the mechanical clutch linkage. I recently had my exhaust done by a local shop(I supplied all the tubing) they used 2-1/4 to tie the downpipes to 2.5” dual pipes.

I found a pair of BBK Cat Delete for 2014 Camaro SS on FB Market going to try them hoping they will clear everything on my K10 4x4

Well, the ones I bought won’t fit over mine transmission crossmember guess it’s different of 4 x 4… I will put these on Facebook market and just take it to a exhaust shop
