Default I finally did it...

I have been waiting a long time and finally saved up some cash to do it. I just ordered some Pacesetter's with Y-pipe, Comp Cams 206/212 .515 .522 112 LSA, Comp 7.4 pushrods and LS6 springs. Now I just have to decide what mail order tune to get. I will keep you posted how this goes

Get your tune from Wheatly - one of the sponsors on the right >>>>. He's the best!

Best is relative, but I've heard numerous good things about Wheatly.

Also, Nelson does them, along with W4Me, Texas Speed, etc.

I just finished installing the pacesetters and Y-pipe, they fit very well had no real big problems with it. The driver side header is VERY close to my front drive shaft, I'm talking may be .020" of a inch, that kind of makes me a little nervous. I also deffently recommend using 3.00 inch Accuseal clamp's insted of the U-bolt ones that come with the pacesetters. One question I have thou, my truck now sounds like it has a exhaust leak, but there is no leak anywhere I checked and double checked everything. It just sounds loader now under the truck not just from the tail pipe. Is this common sound with LT's and ORY pipe, I'm starting to think that it is just the collectors?
Sorry for the long post, Thanks Dan

I just put mine on recently and I noticed the same thing. I think its just the way they sound.
What kind of clamps are the Accuseal clamps? I used stepped band clamps.
