That's good to hear. Are you going to use a Y-pipe or plan on duals?

It had a really nice dual 3" with x pipe and flow master mufflers. Plan to have it tied into that existing system.

Got a base tune in it so I can get it to the muffler shop. Hopefully I can get that done tomorrow. Here's a quick video of it for now.

got the exhaust all done and buttoned up. Just a couple minor things left and it will be complete. Hoping to finish up the tune in the next couple days. I found out yesterday that my grandma passed away along with my great aunt So i have to travel to oklahoma city tomorrow evening to handle that. I have kept plugging away at it today, as this helps me cope with things.

Here are a couple of pictures.

All cleaned up after the muffler shop.

Finished up! Full 3'' with an x pipe

Been driving the truck for a week now. Runs really good, and sounds pretty sweet! Throttle response it nice and crisp, power is really smooth and get to speed quick! took it to oklahoma to visit my uncle for his b-day. With the tune not being perfect, and pulling 2600-2700 rpms i averaged 18.78 mpg. Pretty happy with that. Hoping once the tune is finished and I can get an od trans put in, hoping to see 20+ mpg..

Great job there. I like these "squares" as you people call them. I have a 5.7 LS1 in my 1978 C20. Still work in progress as they all seem to be.
What suspension drop do you have? Looks like just a flip in the rear?

I'm running a flip kit with 2" helper springs in the rear, and drop springs in the front. I have been enjoying driving it with the new found power. Still have a few bugs to work out on the tune and wiring but I doubt it will ever end.. Haha

Yeah, they seem to be a never ending saga. I have plenty of plans for mine, but should just get out and enjoy it 1st.
Not that many LS swaps out here in these older trucks.
