Default LPP headers installed, pypes x pipe, and sweet thunders. VIDEO

https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...lots-pics.html

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.

Did ya'll have a problem with one of the primaries on the driver side hitting the motor mount? Mine is and the nocking/vibrating is driving me nuts. I haven't had a chance to pull it back off and flatten the tube yet. Just wondering if I'm the only one.

haha well the video is 325mb so im giong to have to find another way to upload it. youtube wont take it, and neither will photobucket. im in the process of uploading a shorter one. the sound isnt very good because the camera was a little too close and my dad got pissed at me for revving my engine that high, so im giong to have to make a few more for you guys.

no we didnt have any issues, mine slid up like a glove.

No issues here either, in fact I dont think it was even close to hitting the motor mount. Perfect fit.

Nice install. Did you weld the header collectors to the cats or just use better clamps? I ask because I assume you didn't change wire in that MIG and mild steel wire + stainless isn't going to hold up.
