12556260 is the part number for the 95-97 pipe with banjo bolts and seals. $78 on gmpartsdirect.com

The part number for just the banjo bolts is 12552974 but doesn't come up on gmpartsdirect.

Part number from shoebox's website. I've purchased parts from gmpartsdirect.com a few times and have had good experiences in the past, only complaint is their shipping is a little steep to me.

Damn.. that's crazy.

I built a cross-over setup out of some brass plumbing fittings and some rubber hose, had about $25 invested in it.

That's another alternative.

I have a pic of it at home, it was pretty nice and easy to work with.

If Corey looks at this he may have a pic to post up of it..

Thanks what I did also

Thought I had leaky seals on the cross over block, pulled the cross over off and it cam out in 2 pieces. Drilled and tapped the ends for a 1/8 pipe thread and used rubber hose, so far so good.

I'll have to check out newgmparts.com for my future needs. Thanks shoebox!
