Thanks for looking

Nice...those don't look like LT

 

[retorq]

Tri Y Mid lengths??

 

[992dr]

Thorley didnt make an LT for this model, as far as I know. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
They are Tri Y Mid length headers.
Since I am blessed with having emissions I needed a smog legal system.

nice!

Thanks Kris

Well, my headers are on. WOW is all I have to say. Whether its off the line or at highway speeds, sucker pulls.
Now, I'm on hold until I get my SS flanges. Sucks could be 2 weeks away.
Lookin forward to rest of the build though, going to take a few pics of the headers tomorrow, will post them later tomorrow.

Some pics, all I need to do is clean and spray some paint on the welds.
Other wise, they look great.

Nice!!! I'm hoping to get some headers this summer.
Nice setup!

Looking good Sam....glad you're happy with the Thorleys.
I'm thinking I need to replace my converters... how you liking the spun-metallic converters? Notice any difference in performance/sound over ceramic/factory?

 

[grnrpr68]

nice setup

 

[RVMS]

I think you dropped something when you put these headers on...

My jaw! those are awesome, congrats.

 

[REAL TEXAS TAHOE]

Looks Good

 

[puckhead]

Looks good! How hard is it to get the headers on and off? is it a few hour job or weekend?

 

[blackcoffee]

I'm guessing a couple hour job.

I'm guessing a couple hour job.

Sweet, I just never grew up around this engine stuff. Love tinkering but my motor is bigger and more expensive than other things I tinker on lol. guess i need to jump in head first!

 

[992dr]

Wow, its been a little while.
Thanks guys I appreciate the kind words.


TigerEyz3,
I'm very happy with them. I havent installed the cats yet. I'm waiting on some flanges to be made for the back half of my exhaust. Kinda slacked on sending them out and work is busy.

puckhead,
I didnt install them. After a lot of thinking and the mess I went through with my previous vehicles headers, I decided to sub it out. Ron, the guy who installed them does it for a living and said it was a PITA, not too bad but the EGR was a bear and that took him quite a while. That was the problem with my other headers, the EGR was such a pain.
With that said, if you have the right tools and a lift it shouldnt take more than 4 hours. Give or take, depending on how mechanically inclined you are.

I'll post more pics as I progress. Unfortunately I'm on hold until I get my flanges.
Thanks again guys

very nice...i just went from 6 to midnight...ha ha wish i had cash on hand to do stuff to mine. a newborn baby keeps me from doing that.

 

[thumper_ehhhhh]

drool x2. I like.

 

[992dr]

Thanks guys.
Since the first post I've made one change. Sent back the 2 mufflers in favor of one 2.5" Magnaflow 14568 DI/DO w/ built in X-pipe. I'm posotive it will still sound great and it will also make my wife happy. She's not too fond of loud exhausts. If mommas happy, daddy gets his toys .
