Nobody has a y-pipe that fits well. Don't even try to bolt the bracket, just get the y-pipe aligned the best you can. I put dual 3" cats in my old 96 and after I was happy with the fit/alignment I went to muffler shop and they welded the cats up. I used band clamps instead of their crush clamps so I could remove the y-pipe if I needed to. And I had a set of Felpro gaskets blow out so they aren't any better. Hopefully you can get them to seal, but you may not want to clamp the y-pipe too tight until you know for sure.
