yes it is actually 2 different hoses spliced together...i will try and find the numbers for the hosses...and the the splice is one so the steam vent on the head routes to it....its from JTR but i will try and look for the 2 hose numbers

You used truck coils and brackets right? If so did you have to mod the vette frc's to fit?

well i had them on there....and no you dont have to mod the covers...but one burnt out so i had to put back on the fbody ones for now. but they fit under the vette frc's just fine...they are close...but no issues here.

One other question for anyone....i notice in my exhaust....that when i rev it up....as i let off the gas and it comes down to idle...the exhaust creates a crazy amount of shaking...like the whole truck wobbles just before it gets back to idle...could this be because of it being true duals...plus it has no flex point in the system....it goes from the flanges one pipe to the muffler...welded....then welded pipe out to the tips....so maybe its that...or could it be also becasue i have no H or X pipe in it...i sure hope someone could help...cause it isnt so much a problem...just drives me crazy feeling it.

OK Jake the SSnake...here is my best description of how i made the upper hose..actually 2 seperate hoses. Napa part numbers Upper Rad Hose NBH-8721 and NBH 7554 and then I used the JTR LS1 hose coupler with built in steam vent and air bleeder petcock. you have to cut the ends off of the hoses...the 8721 hose you have to cut the zigzag end off and the 7554 hose you have to cut the 1.5" ID side off...since it is a 1.25 to 1.5 elbow. I put a pic up of the best i can describe it...hope it helps. Any more ? just ask

Any LS or V8 for that matter is a tight fit in a dime.
