dounome Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 What size did you go with for your headers/back? It looks small. And I have to say those welds look like Are you not in to washing that motor? On a better note I have that pin kit and will get it out to you the first part of next week.

SS LS1 Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 First off congrat on the headers! How is the performance of the truck now? More low end, top end, or both? Is the sound much louder with the headers and using the stock cats? As for the tips the angle looks good but the size is way too small IMO. You can get some nice Stainless Steel 3" or so tips from Summit for only $20 each. I run one instead of my Corsa tips in the winter to keep them nice. Many options available, here is just one inexpensive option....... Summit Tip Link Also, since your exhaust tubing is welded directly to the header collector I hope you never have to remove one header or drop the tranny. I would have either used ball flanges or just used Stainless Steel band style clamps so you can take the exhaust appart when you want to. Here is a pic of the band clamps I used on my Camaro headers (Pacesetters). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whmayhew Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Where did you get the band clamps? I put my Magnaflow's on last week but ahead of the muffler all they give you is the old style muffler clamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are called "Quick Seal" I believe. Actually most are made by Walker which can be had from many auto parts shops under they Dynomax Torctite name. They do seal nicely and allow your exhaust to be disconnected easily as they do not crush the pipe like Traditional u-shaped exhaust clamps do. Which was key when I had to drop the tranny on the Camaro to install the 3600 stall converter a month later. You can get them from Summit Racing too.... Link to Summit Clamps Below are what mine look like These with the weld on tabs from Dynatech are nice too...... Or These From Super Trapp......

They have been used on big trucks for years, 5 inch on up. I did not know that anyone made them that small. Got to get some.

Im definately gonna have to invest in some larger 3" or 3.5" tips. And ive never taken the covers off of my engine till the day i took the pics so yea i guess it would be a little dirty under there. Do you want me to send you over money for the shipping of the pinning kit?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
