I had an oil leak, so I decided to take my whole car apart.

Still love it! I just helped a friend put a similar setup on his cammed 98 stripper SS (Speed Engineering Long Tubes, 3" high flow cats, Hooker offroad catback). He is a big fan now too. More importantly, our wives approve of the cars now lol.

I am the guilty party mentioned above lol. Love the sound, no rasp, no nasty exhaust smell and very impressive ground clearance. I'm lowered on a koni/strano setup and the collectors are the lowest part of the whole system. My ONLY real complaint on the whole system are the tips. I would have paid an extra $50-100 for tips that were closer to a corsa/magnaflow double-walled style. Other than that, amazing value for the money. The wife doesn't say I smell like the garage after I've driven the car now, big improvement haha! And a huge thank you to RebelExtrm02 for his help and attention to detail, couldn't have done it without him!

Did you buy the long tube header system or the short headers?? I'm wanting to do the long tube. I'm also wanting to lower it 1-2" with Koni's. How much clearance do you have between the collector and the pavement? Could you take a picture? O buy the way the painting on your car was great,you are a master of detail. I wish I had the room and talent to paint.

Clearance at the collector and driver side cat is 3". I attached a picture.

OP your as bad as me (car looks great by the way), I started a simple 6.0/4l80e swap into my S10 last winter and ended up sand blasting the bare frame in my driveway and rebuilding it from the ground up. It's now about 90% finished and hope to have it done by spring. Few little changes happened along the way like narrowing the frame/ TR6060 trans and LSA super charger and Holley EFI, I plan on having some fun with it before starting on the badly needed body and paint work on the exterior.

Its definitely worth it. I had a gentleman chase me down in a Hobby Lobby parking lot the other day to talk to me about the car. He couldnt believe how nice it was. Aparently he had a 96 when they first came out. He kept telling me to never sell my car. Said he regrets it to this day haha. You'll have to keep us posted on your progress!
