So I'm installing TSP Headers next week, with their y-pipe, and I'm making sure I've got everything I need and I'm doing everything right.

*Get the car jacked up atleast 24"
*New Spark Plugs (from TSP)
*New Motor Mounts (Poly's)
*TSP Off-road y(is pacesetter any different?)
*New GM Gaskets (from TSP)
*Exhaust Band Clamps
*Frost Mail Order tune

How's all that sound? Right now, all I have is a Corsa catback with cutout and a lid. Pretty excited! But I know it's going to be a hassle with that old car

the TSP is stainless steel 1st off... And it has a WAY better merge than the pacesetter... If your guna get TSP LTs get the TSP y... All stainless... Good luck on the swap buddy

Thank you. I wasn't aware that the Pacesetter's was not SS. Good to know... I think I'll need a breaker bar and ALOT of PB Blaster

^^^ be VERY careful with exhaust bolts!!! Many brake them... Hit them with PB/WD40 for the whole week before you do the swap... Be careful and take your time. You dnt want to break anything... And I suggest NEW O2 sensors... Buy the Corvette O2s... They are longer. You will not need O2 extensions...

Any particular reason for a 1 7/8" on a stock 346 cube car?

Any reason he shouldnt? Better to have em so later if he goes all out he wnt need to buy LTs again... IMO smart move

Have an oil change handy bevause when i did myne i had to remove the oil filter and the DRAIn plug to get the header in at the right angle. No liglfting the motor no steering shaft removal.

i just installed tsp's on mine and the passenger side was a breeze, the driver side on the other hand was a little more work but take the motor mounts out and from what i had to do i had to remove the alternator to get the bolt in and out

Did you really just ask this question??

In the posters defence there are times when 1 3/4" headers may be better. It is all about the speed of the exhaust and the pull it creates on the intake port during the overlap period.

I didnt have to take the steering or oil filter out just the starter

My passenger side header went right in without taking the starter out but driver side on tsp !!17/8!! Headers i had to take oil pan bolt out and oil filter.

The only time I myself have ever seen that to be true would be with a C5, and that has more to do with the primary design and length more than anything.

Also, I only needed 17.5" from the bottom of the K to the garage floor. 24" seems pretty high to me.

I did it and the passenger side was a breeze. I had to take the oil filter off and unbolt the trans from the crossmember (1 bolt). Then pry the motor and trans over that extra 1/4" to make everything clear. It took me 4-5 hours from jack up to jack down and drive to the muffler shop.
