i was just wantin to kno if an pacesetter off road y pipe will hook up to my manifolds or do i need to get headers for them to fit..?

 

Stock manifolds...No.....the pace setter Y is designed to use with their Headers.....I'm pretty sure Stainless works and another compay offer a Free flowing Y that's a direct bolt up replacment for the stock Manifolds....if that's what your refering to...

 

Nope, won't fit at all. Get headers if you want power of course.

 

alright thanks...i heard that puttin headers on lt's is a pain in the ***...is it or is it not really that bad.?

 

i wouldn't say headers are a pain in the *** unless you consider the time it takes to do them a pain in the *** because it certainly takes a good deal of a time commitment to get everything taken care of a lot of things have to come off

it took me about 14 hours straight working on it by myself and taking many cig breaks to relax i took my time and got it done right im sure i could have done it quicker if it wasn't my first header job

 

LT1s seem harder to put longtubes on than ls1s. A friend told me a way to make the job completely easier. Loosen the back bolts half way on the k-member and let the engine rest from there so you have more room. Making sure the engine is held up first, then slowly drop it.
Now if I heard this, I still probably wouldn't of did it because it's an extra step that isn't usually mentioned in walk-throughs. But by doing it the hard way myself, I wish I would have did this extra step. Just some advice.

 

Really took that long?!?! Eh, I dont think mine took that long but, it was probably around 6 hours. Mine went right in, perfect fit, no clearance issues. I already had the EGR and AIR removed beforehand.

 

It took me a while too. But it all depends. Sometimes the headers fit right in, as for me, they didn't. I had the worse light and tools available. God I wish I had ratcheting wrenches!

 

They sell 'em at Wal-mart, Stanley brand, they work great. I think I paid around $50 for my set.

I Havent done them myself but two of my buddies did some on a 96 in about 4 hours

 

I had the worse time putting in some BBk shorties. It took me 24 hours to install the smog legal shorties, change the wires and plugs. I wish I had put longtubes in from the start, I'm hoping the next header install goes quicker.
