I have Stainless Works with 3" collectors like Grippy. I originally had them with 3 bolt flanges, and had no problems other than it was a pain in the *** to get to all of the bolts. I now have V band clamps on them and there is no clearance issue, and I can pull the whole exhaust by myself and put it back in about ten minutes. V bands arent cheap, but it is the best money I have spent on my truck. No more busted nuckles, lost tools from throwing them across the shop, and for some reason I'm drinking less. The three bolt flanges used to blow gaskets and the bolts would eventually rattle out even with lock tight.

 

Glad it's not just me

Thanks for the replies and feedback gents!!

Great pics Gripster. Nail in the coffin for my bassani's

 

UHOH! I have Dynatech LTs...am I gonna have a prob when I do this conversion? This motor & tranny is racking up c-notes like nickels!

 

I have a thread somewhere on here with pics of my Pacesetter install. Mine came very close to the passenger's side bellhousing, but it is ok.

 

Maybe PM Dewmanshu, he's running a 4L80E and Dynatechs.

 

Thanks -- I'll go yell at him
