Sad part when my ex and i split, it wasnt the split from her that bothered me, was too long in coming, it was being away from my kids!!!! This from the guy that at one point didnt want kids at all, and if i had one i wanted 1 boy and that was it!!!!

Hey man youre in nc is it fairly populated where youre at or more of a rural area, i ask because i am looking for a fairly well ragged out rcsb for my kid to start working on and learn how to fix cars..... And hopefully drive a stick(hes not goin to learn in my camaro!!!!) nothing fancy as far as i am concerned a base model wt power nothing, other than brakes and steering!!! Figure if youre in the rural areas there may be something hiding in corner of a field somewhere that would be perfect if you could keep an eye out..... Doesnt even necessarily have to run...

Since we, ok i, got off topic, my plan is thus far..... The speed engineering 1 7/8 headers, probably collectors shortened a little cats directly off of those joined with v bands, and from the cats either into the back portion of my factory y pipe to the modified part of a ypipe to connect to my true duals or use the sss cat pipes i have now after the cats, or get the fron section of speed engineerings dual setup or just say screw and go witb the whole speed engineering dual setup and modify it to get a set of cats in and a set of tailpipes..... Thinkingthe cat pipes i have now will jusg be kind of a pita to make work, the driver side pipe comes damn near out of the cat and makes a 90* turn in front of the crossmember, which is reason i started looking at my factory y pipe have more room to play with before the bend....... I want to find the shortest cat i possibly can, even if it means getting 2.5" i/o and cutting the inlet down to where they would be 3"!!! Which will probably be easiest anyway because my entire cat back is 2.5" including my homehade h pipe that sits in front of my mufflers at the moment.... My biggest thing is wanting the cat pipe(s)to be somewhat modular so they can be removed if need be without having to cut and weld......

Understandingly so, that would kill me.
Haha, that was exactly how I felt, until I had one. Unfortunately, we were only able to have one together.

Yup, I'm in NC. I can keep an eye out. While I'm looking for my C10 Blazer, I'll poke around for pickup. They're scattered out down here.

Back on track. After I cut and weld that cat, I'll post some pictures so you can get an idea of the size. I'll try to do it this weekend but I think I'm going to be working.

I don't see why not.
But, do the Speed Engineering LTs have provisions for o2 sensors?
