Default Headers on the way...just a few quick questions

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?

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...

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..
