Default New exhaust. Pics inside

So I built a new exhaust system for my truck. Here are the pics. Took us about two hours total. We had other cars to do while we were trying to finish this.
These are the head pipes on the stock Y pipe. Absolutely miserable. Its no wonder this thing wouldnt rev







The shitty junction in the Y.



The old Flowmaster. Good for making noise and thats about it.



The cat delete pipe



Now on to the new stuff.





Magnaflow Y pipe

That's not nearly as bad as looking under any recent GM. They are all like two cats, two resonators, two mufflers, what looks like less than 2" piping. Those poor LS4 cars appear to be ridiculously choked off.

I hope there is a lot of room between the pipe and the stock fuel lines. Cause it sure don't look like it in this pic. But other wise great work.

The angle that the pic is taken at is deceiving. Plenty of clearance.
