For those of you not sure if to get GM header gaskets or the vicotr reinz gaskets from autozone heres some comparison pics between the two. Other than the gasket sealing inside they are identical.
The old ones are the GM ones New is Victor Reinz.

Price list so far
$220 LT
$150 ORY
$60 magnaflow bullet
Exhaust shop should charge $80-$100 to get the dump done.
I Should have around $700ish (including P&P TB, and UDP) into it when its all said and done.
Edit: I had a buddy with a TSP ORY BNIB he as going to sell to me for like $90 but he sold out last minute.

This Y-Pipe fits like junk, im going to an exhaust shop to get it all welded together. I wouldn't buy this unless you PLAN on having it welded up anyways. Im really upset with how it fits too, it hangs pretty low. Lets see what this exhaust shop can do.

To me, this thread is really informative. I've been considering installing an identical setup on my Camaro, and I really appreciate your documentation. I hate that you're having this great difficulty, but, for what it's worth, it looks like you'll be helping out those of us who plan to follow in your footsteps.
Thanks for carrying the torch, bro!

Update:
Just got back from the exhaust shop and the exhaust sounds alright alot quiter than i thought, it hits somewhere on the floor board and the car is slow as ****. I got to go Check out the SES lights and see what it is. I think it might need a tune bad or something. At WOT it does sound amazing though.
Just incase anyone knows but does anyone have an issue with there cars not passing 5500 RPMs? My car is doing this and i THINK it might be valve float.
To sum up the TSP ORY, it is nice quality, but the way it fits is ****, and the clamps they send with it are garbage. IMO, to be able to get the ORY on properly and effectively you NEED to consider taking it to get welded. I kinda screwed up how i did the dump but ill just deal with that later. Im sort of sick and tired of dealing with it right now.

For the little bit you have into it I wouldn't be to mad with it having a few issues along the way but that just me. Lt+ory+bullet dumped and you don't think it's loud wow thats crazy I think there really deep but not as loud when you dump it instead of running it out the back.
Talk about kick in the jewels all that work and now your cars running like crap that sucks dude I feel your pain when I put a built rear end in my 89 gta I took off the lift and didn't get a mile before the tranny went out.....

Video up, sorry for the **** audio quality but all i have is my laptop to record ATM. lol its a bit raspy because of the way i did the dump, tilted sideways with a 3inch, realized i cut the ORY to far back and it ended up being a 3.5" at the merge. So i just shoved the 3" piping in there sorta sideways and got it welded up for now. Ill fix it sometime later on, it should eliminate all of the rasp.
