Ebay/OBX style header install w/plenty of PICS (LONG, but detailed)

Does anyone know if the baffle inside the fake cat can come out? I've narrowed this ANNOYING rattle down to right at the collector/fake cat and it's driving me crazy! No piping anywhere is touching and no heat shields are loose... It just intermittently rattles from that area really loud. I'm beginning to think I got some reject headers.

Yea mines doing it on the drivers side. I've tightened everything really good and adjusted the y pipe where nothing is close to touching.

Finished mine up earlier today. Needs re-tune. Sounds awesome. Makes the RST exhaust x2 better. The only thing I do not like is the valve train noise. Driver side has always been loud. No leaks that I can see. I couldn't use one of the band clamps. It was to close to the transmission cross member. I don't know if there was a real difference in the manual and auto trans.
The rear driver side spark plugs were a pain to get in. But not bad for doing it all myself.
I'm pleased, great $290 + $80 for lift time and extra parts.

out of all the people who have installed these headers, has anybody done it to a truck with a suspension lift? i have been wantin to purchase these headers for a while now but haven't since i was worried bout them fittin my truck. its a 99 Z71 silverado with the 5.3L motor and a Rough Country 6" lift. my biggest concern is the exhaust touchin the front driveshaft. if anybody has installed these headers to a lifted truck could ya please post up whether or not its worked successfully. i dont mind beatin on the headers a little bit to make them fit if i have to

How come they're never advertised for the '06 model. I have 4wd and I'm about to buy these. I want them bad but I dread wrestling with fitment issues. Oh well. I bet if I have trouble with these I'd have trouble with pacesetters. I'm gonna do it.
