[Travieso]

can you snap any pics of the ORY and the clearance from your tranny?

here you go. sunshine

^^^ you could tell on this picture were is rubbing at upper right side..

another picture of the Y pipe


I also had him weld up the catback exhaust connector

^^ this one cause it was at a bad angle and didnt want it leaking later on

nice man, good write up!

thanks bro for all your help

Nice and shiny things. Gotta love that. Sounds good too.
and for your worst enemy problem. I'll trade you mine... lol

lol maybe after i used the tires i just bought them 900 Miles ago

Looks good man, have any pics of the engine bay?

Yes sir here you go. (without the AEM CAI and Headers)

did you guys reuse the stock manifold gaskets, or did you use the LPP gaskets? Im thinking bout reusing or using some stock gaskets.

I sure did reuse the Manifold gasket imo better then the one that came with the kit.. the GM OEM ones are aluminum and are very thin i believe they are 3 on each side

Update

**********Update**********​

so took La Guera (tahoe) to the exhaust shop had him remove the Y pipe and modify it by pre-heating the metal and banging the shit out of it to have it clear the Transmission Cross member now i have no Rattles what so ever. i also had him weld up a few connectors to make sure they don't start leaking on me later on in the future, went ahead and put turn downs right on the tips of the muffler. (before the rear axles)

well everything seems in tact now and the truck rides so much better now it doesn't hit the exhaust when i go over a speed bump or when the suspension flexes. But I'm not to sure if i like that or not Because now my exhaust with the turn downs are extremely loud keep in mind that i do have a 22" Magnaflow so I'm thinking I'm gonna have to re-route the exhaust again over the axle but instead of having dual like i used to I'm gonna put a y on the connector and just run one single out trough the back pretty f

decisions decisions

anyone have a better solution to this, this off course is for people with a 3/5 + drop.

nice man, i want headers but i dont want to deal with installing them lol. i would just dump the exhaust after the muffler, thats how i have mine and i have no issues

damn looks good, I see your in california, what are you doing for smog testing with no cats? I want some long tubes but figured in cali its not worth i with emissions testing

GM actually beat you to it, the DENALI and ESCALADEs are set up that way for the 6 liter. I would rather prefer it dumped, add another magnaflow after yours or something. I plan on dumping the stock muffler. So hopefully its not that loud.

I would go and get another muffler.... back when I was going to get headers, I was going to have a second muffler welded up to quiet the truck down. I am also running a magnaflow with turndowns directly after the muffler... I just like the look of not having any pipes...

I gotta ask too. I really want to run these but & seeing these pics I don't see any spot for cats to go anyways.

What to do?
