Probably not any good choices to replacing it due to the fact it is put on there before the tube is flanged. I can't think of any other good way to tighten that ball and socket assembly either. should be plenty of people willing to sell their y-pipes cheap though. I myself have one I'd sell for $50 off an SVT which is an upgrade for the non-svt guys since the tubing is a larger dia. Let me know if you're interested.
Thanks,
Rick
