Kevin,
You looking into the TOG's? I have had my eye on them for awhile. Once I get my tuning on my tranny figured out, its time. You got any more info on the TOG's that hasnt been posted let me know.

Nice, thats good to hear. I will be running them down to the stock cats. Basically right before the flange for the cats, then my single exhaust picks up right after the flange past the cats. I just leaving the entire cat assembly umtouched.
However, I am still debating wether or not to drop the coin for the RADIX, or try and hold myself over for who knows how long (probably a week) with the headers......... decisions.

The Thorley Tri-Ys will work fine on a 5.3 or 4.8. Stock plug wires are a perfect fit with them. You will have to cut the stock exhaust right before the cats and weld their flanges on. No clearance issues.
However if you have a 6.0, that is another story.
You can do a search for my adventureous header/cat install on my VHO. What a fiasco. It all worked out though and I now have the Thorleys and high flow cats with no SES light. I consider myself "legal" and should pass emissions testing if they ever implement it in my area.
Good luck!

I went with pacesetter and i am still legal. I retained the cats but they had to be moved. They are just fine and has all of the bungs to reinstall the O2 sensors. You should not throw a code. It was inexpensive compaired to the Dynatech. Including exhaust work i paid $550 for everything and got a great looking pair of ceramic coated headers. The plug clearences and frame clearences are just what were advertised.
