Cant wait to get a ride in this, I wonder if I can buy Short headers, or flip the stock LT1 headers and use the rest of this kit?

Those are the wrong sizes completley. If anyone orders this kit and needs the clamps, you need 6 3" clamps and two 3.5" clamps. I learned the hard and costly way.

There is my invoice of the parts. They are on my car.
Why would you need a 3.5inch v-band clamp for a 3inch downpipe? Why would you need a 3.5inch v-band clamp for a 3inch turbo exhaust outlet?

There is only one way to install it. All the smaller v-band flanges are on 2.5" pipes so the actual diameter of the flanges are 3"s. I dont know how your saying 2.5's are too big? All my flanges are with 15mm's, there not all the same but close enough where I i can use the 3" clamps on all of them without leaks.

Thanks guys.
Frost, you have no idea how much i love driving the car again. =)
I need to fix my headlight, its stickin up a bit. Also need to spray the inside of the bumper black.
I did shred a belt today =(. I need to look at the alignment a bit more tomorrow. I really wish that bracket I bought was test fitted on an engine before it was shipped out.

I bought 6 2.5inch vbands. 3 of them were good. The other 3 i had to crank down all the way until they were touching. So im sure 2.25's would have worked better for those 3.

I intially ordered 3 2.25" 3 2.50" and 2 3". The 3 inch clamps were the only ones that fit anything. I have 6 3" clamps on order because they fit all the pipes that were 2.5"s. The down pipe is 3"s so it will need a 3.5" clamp. I dont know why my sizes are different than yours.
