2001-2006 tahoe LLP headers w/ ory installed

[Travieso]

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

quit being lazy... you lazy lima bean

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...

well i was highly thinking about this also but looking at my exhaust there isn't any more room to weld up another muffler... the 22 is way to long that leaves no room for another muffler to weld up... or perhaps do you have one that you recommended me getting?

Looks good junior. Good write up also..

thanks bro...

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?

Easy dont run any cats, lol

What about with the headers installed!! Silly!!! haha its all good, wanted to look at how the final product under the hood looks like, any clearence issues under the hood?

my bad i'll post some pics after i steam clean my engine bay its pretty dirty right now imo..

oh and no clearance issues with so ever.

I quoted a guy asking about smog?? I am asking what are you doing about it?

You won't pass any test with those.

Trav... peep this thread from PTnet... its long but at the end he mentions an 18" glass pack as a suplemental muffler because it was too loud... this is where I got the idea.

yeah i know that... i know a few people

 

[waxworkz]

i'm too lazy bro. i'll buy them and wait a year to install them LOL

 

[tybardy]

Trav really did a nice job here man, if you took the steps he took, you will really have a pretty nice install...

removing the wheel wells, getting the front end well off the ground, using PB Blaster all over the place to losen things up... these little touches probably saved a lot of time and probably some knuckle skin too...

dont be too lazy! YOU CAN DOOOO IIIITT

 

[waxworkz]

oh i know i can do it. i just dont want to. my days of laying on the cold concrete are way behind me. i have had too many late nights in the garage, now i'd rather spend my time with my family

 

[tybardy]

it sounds like you simply need a heated garage with a nice shop floor... maybe a nice sounds system... lol

My garage is my sanctuary... its the only place in my entire house that I can get a quiet moment, but I hear ya....

Headers FTW

 

[waxworkz]

yeah i wish i had a nice garage. its full of tools, detailing equipment, horse tack and misc crap! i started cleaning it up yesterday but i need some storage totes to put things up in the rafters. i wish i had a garage like my dads, he's a wood worker and has a whole shop set up as he makes custom furniture. maybe one day i'll be able to fit a car in mine LOL. that and my sons totaled honda is in my drive way, so that blocks part of my work area

 

[tybardy]

indeed... a superb garage is like my dying dream! hahahaha.... I tell my wife, I dont care what our house looks like, just as long as my garage rules!


Travie... sorry to thread jack you... back to the headers (waxie.... get some headers... hahaha)

 

[Travieso]

Taken La Guera today to the muffler shop and have them redo my exhaust to exit out the rear of the truck.. i'll do a little video of turn downs vs exit over the rear tire..

picture of the Turn downs (R.I.P) lol

pics of new exhaust?

here you go

Modify Y pipe i had to add for my dual Magnaflow Exhaust

here is the collector

Custom Exhaust hanger i love how he did this

3" inch Pipping all the way now

and here is the exhaust how it comes out

probably add one of these but right now to much $$ on La guera so its gonna have to be on hold

new 3" exhaust done,a lot more quieter now then what it was before (maybe to quite) no more drone or obnoxious ridiculous noise coming from the exhaust at low speeds. You could only hear the exhaust and headers on wot, there is still a little mystery noise when you barely tap the skinny pedal. I like that tells people i got a little something underneath the hood

i will soon add a exhaust video

 

[Tahoewhat]

looks good.

 

[tybardy]

traviso... did that help the cabin noise at all?

 

[Travieso]

i have no cabin noise what so ever now, in fact its super quite now...I mentioned this on my earlier post. i'll detail the truck hopefully this week coming up and post up some videos

 

[tybardy]

damn... I hate the look of taill pipes, I guess the cabin noise is the price I pay.... I wonder if I have some pipes fabbed up and try to "hide" them if I could lower my cabin noise...

Good to see everything is working out though!

Im trying to do the same thing as you ty. I dont like the look of pipes in the rear. At least on mine. Just havent figured it out yet. I have a thread w/ a few pics of some hidden. (just a fyi)http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21392. Might give you some ideas of how you can hide it but have a quiet cabin ride. Which is one thing i would like.

 

[waxworkz]

damn my pipe dumps out right after my muffler, dynomax and i dont have an issue with cabin noise. of course it might be that i have a suburban so my muffler sits further back in the cabin

that also and you dont have headers so it makes it alot less quieter i was running turn downs with out headers and it was perfectly fine but then when i added headers w/ out cats,extremely loud..
