Is it pointless to run headers on a stock Y pipe?

I know for LT's u cant run them with a stock Y. You gotta get an ORY from the company u buy ur headers from.

U CANT. U NEED A NEW Y PIPE FOR LT HEADERS!!!! U CANNOT USE THE OLD ONE. i was told if u swap y pipes w/o changing headers the car gets louder and drinks more gas and u feel a bit of a power change. I dont know if its true or not

Shorties aren't worth much power on the LS1.
Stock manifolds are almost as good as shorties for flow.
Drop the money...get Pacesetter longtubes and y-pipe. Worth it in the long run.
