Well I have a set of longtubes on the way..Cant wait..

first, where can I find a EGR blocker plate? I found a bunch of LS1 plates..would that work on my 6.0 truck intake?

2nd, Ive seen the v band clamps and such for the ORY..I want to go this route instead of welding just incase I have to swap my stock exhaust back on..Where is the best place to get them?

 

Found these clamps..Im going with LPP headers and i was told these would be the right size for the y

Those band clamps with work good, I bought mine from oreillys for 8.99 I only needed two... You will need 4 if your are not gonna weld at all... I only used my band clamps right after the collector meets y on driver and passenger side. I welded the other 2 connections because theres no need to have 4 pieces to a y pipe...

 

Oh, and as far as the egr block off, I used a expandable rubber freeze plug... Works great im sure the dealer wants 5 jabillllion dollars

 

good point..I will check oreileys and see if they have them here..and ya i may as well weld the middle of the Y..less chance of leaks n ****..

 

Exactly... the ones at Oreiilys arent molded but when you crank down on the bolts they mold themselves. Theres not a chance in hell there leaking from the clamps!

 

so they are just a straight piece basically then they bend a little when you put them over the pieces of pipe? I may just get some exhaust cement as well to ensure nothing leaks..

This is what they look like, I used a little red rtv...

 

I was able to go to the dealership and get an egr blockoff plate for the intake for $22

 

the dealership is acting dumb when I ask them for the EGR blockoff..is there anywhere online to get one?

Headers should be on their way soon..cant wait..then comes the cam
