I was going to tap into the OS Y pipe even made up a couple of reducers (3" to 2.5"), but as the cat back is 3" and there was a perfect place to put it, why waste the opportunity.
There are boost activated ones available I would have gone that way, if I had boost.

Welded on a lathe so it was easy to turn and keep it all straight, then finished off with emery to remove welding marks.

Moley Well said Stav
Mine is better then whoever made the Y piece - thats good enough for me.
As an amateur who hasn't welded more them 10 times I think its very good especially as its stainless and someone else's kit that I had no idea how to set up the way I want. Then again welding is easy, its not as though its hard lol.
The wire feed dial was broken and was feeding so slowly.
