I found a better picture showing both EGR connections. Others I saw showed just one.
So sorry if that was an ignorant question. Just doing lots of research so when I order mine, gonna try and get them on myself to save some $ and apply that savings towards a tune.

I see that you have an '01; someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but you should not have EGR at all. You will have the AIR system; which does connect to both headers.

Oh ok. They both accomplish the samething?? lol
Either way, I was just making sure. And yep, I got 2 of those suckers. I see a lot of people eliminated AIR, what is the benefit of doing so?
I'm gonna stay emissions friendly, so I'm definitely going with the catted y.
Sorry if I hijacked your thread.

Now I just have to debate if it is worth my frustration when I order mine if I'm going to put it all together myself or not. Hope it will hook up to the factory catback. Looking for that stealth look. With those little pea-shooter exhaust tips! Sorry, had a few crown and cokes. Spelling is still spot on though. LS1 Tech Stories

Car sounds great sleepinghawk. I plan to install a catted Y with my LT install matched to my LM1. Like you said, I'm a little scared its going to be obnoxious loud. I'm hoping the cats help to tame it some. If it turns out close to what yours sounds like, I'll be satisfied. Good job man, again, your car sounds awsome.
One day at a stop light I was next to an ****, and he just kept on doing revs like most of those idiots, so i started to rev the formula up. I was louder! heheAtleast you already got yours! =p I have to start all over modding mine.

Sorry another question! How much are those easy seal bands? Are they one size fits all or are they a certain length for our cars?
I see you have 3 clamps in the pic, where did you put the easy seals?
Again I apologize, just getting all the knowledge I can, so when I order mine and put them on, I know exactly what I'm looking for.

I've got the stainless bandclamps and use them all the time. They work well, there are a few version of them out there. A really cheap version and then a version for about 14-17 that works well.
Well Blanco,
Thanks for your PM response on headers. I will be buying them from you as soon as the funds become available. I'll probably call ya on the phone to make sure I don't forget to have you send me something. Man I am so excited! Hope the install goes well for my uncle and I. Were using my car as the guinea pig to see if when he gets his, if we will do his Z28 or not.

Since this seems to be the definitive ARH + LM thread, I figured I would post up my results as well!!
and that is with:
American Racing Headers 1 3/4" stainless LT headers (race style)
American Racing Headers 3" stainless cat'd Y-pipe
Dyno Video Put down 331 RWHP / 327 RWTQ (on a Mustang Dyno) after the install and Slowhawk's tune handy work.
