When you pull the headers off, you'll need to modify the passenger side collector flange to 2.375" Dia. (that's the max you can go without hitting the ID of the collector pipe). Just make it the same size as the drivers side flange (2.375" Dia.). I used a Dremel with a carbide tip (#9903) and a cutting guide.

Nice numbers. Do you know how much of a gain that is over your manifolds?

Redneck Z,
The JBA / BBK's are designed to mate up with the stock Y-Pipe which has a smaller ID on the passenger side. It's just a good idea to open up the flange if you're adding an aftermarket Y-Pipe such as the RT Y-Pipe which has a 2.5" ID. If you are using the stock y-pipe don't even bother with the flange mod.

JS,
I'm not sure what the GTO flange(s) looks like. It may not even be an issue. What you want to do is match the collector flange opening to the y-pipe opening. Check the driver and passenger side in your case.

Patrick G,
I'm guessing I picked up somewhere around 15-20HP with the JBA's and RT Y-pipe.
I dynoed 311 rwhp before the Headers, Y-pipe, LS6 Intake and ported TB. I'm sure I'll get flamed for the HP claims but I don't care!!!

RedneckZ,
They are ceramic. They did, however, have a few pinholes around one of the welds but I took them down to JBA in SD and they covered them under warranty.
