My Exhaust Install, LOTS of pics
My Exhaust Install, LOTS of pics **videos in my other post a little farther down
**Okay, before I get started my headers and exhaust will all be arriving Tuesday, and I will be installing it all on Wednesday, you will get updated pics after that, for now its !AIR, !EGR, !OLDEXHAUST.
Just a few pics of the car on the lift with my brothers Victory Red '69 camaro (almost finished)
Alright, first I removed the CB, which was a somewhat poor design (bought the car like this). It was one dynomax bullet(i think) with a second pipe connected to it and run out the back. then i removed the y pipe (dont have any pics of that being removed.
then the cats
then !air
removing air dam
before
after
then !egr, after shots (dont have many pics of removal, was so occupied i forgot to take pictures, it was really self explanatory, just start unbolting ****. lol)
Painted the rear cover when i was down there. lol.
before
after
whole exhaust removed
this was all done from 830am to 2pm, now all i have to do is wait for my stuff and start installing
only one question. on the back of the ls1 intake i hear there is something to do with egr, if i have to remove the intake to block something off tell me now so i can just buy an ls6 intake. if im going to go through the trouble of removing that intake i may as well put a better one on.
by far the most painful modding of my life as my dad accidentaly lowered the lift down on my toes when i was removing the egr, 2 tons is a lot of weight, im surprised i didnt break anything, if my feet were 1" more under there both my feet would have been broken(needless to say i wont be walking normal for a while). be safe with lifts lol
thanks for reading

There's isn't anything on the back of the intake pertaining the EGR. Just up front on top of the intake where you have to put in an expandable freeze plug to seal off the hole where the tube from the EGR went.
Wonder what the previous owner was smoking to come up with that catback configuration lol.

EDIT: all the other pictures from the end of the install

reference this thread for the beginning of the install. unfortunately i dont know what happened to all of the pics of during the install, there was probably about 30 of them, which really sucks.
im going to try my 1337 skills to get them off the memory card, hope it works
basically what i did was installed the lpp headers, which by the way took about 2 hours for one person to do (dad did it for me before i got home from work, had no idea) then had to fab up the dual kit (pypes xpipe) and just weld her up and fit her in.
it was about a 3 day job, i took my time, made sure i could get things fit up nice. had to fix a few leaks, still ahve a tiny leak on the driver side collector but its an easy fix. video isnt the best, cant really hear it, ill get a better one up soon though dont worry.
this is all i could get for now, its an idle clip, my dad got pissed at me for doing it because he said "i want to keep my neighbors go somewhere else" so ill have to take it for a drive and have a buddy shoot the video for me somewhere.
sweet thunder muffler
pypes xpipe and my dumbass dog
first time i ever welded anything, just a pic of it after welding, about to grind it all down(all the ugly welds are my dads lol)
me and my dad decided to relocate the brake/fuel lines for clearance with the tds
everything installed(not using those clamps on the collectors that was just a test fit before finishing)
clearance with headers/tds
and some pics of my brothers 69 since we were moving things around. he expects it to be ready around april of this year.
edit: here is video, the end will make you laugh at me lol. more videos to come.

there is a line on the back of the intake. but it is AIR related and needs to be blocked off when removing the air. only thing needing to be done for the egr is getting a block off plate for the passenger header or using race headers
okay so its air, does the intake need to be removed in order to accomplish this?

Would the TSP bolt onto the LPP headers with no need to take the car to an exhaust shop(which I will still end up doing to get the exhaust extended to the rear)?
Sweet, can't wait to see how it turns out. I'm thinking of doing a similar setup on my car. LT, TSP X with sweet thunders.

i have a welder, lift, and a dad and brother that can help hold things and weld with me. so custom work isnt an issue.
