k cool....it hard for me to get info from stuff that was done before to the truck....guys mother sold me the truck cause he was crsying about how he didnt want to sell it.....o yah...hes also 32 year old baby......

I picked up some 2.5" to 3" expanders to slip over the collector....gonna jsut muniplate the pipes and hopefully make it fit...see when we do it....if all false....take it to the exhuast shop i suppose

 

my truck was a little different and had a little less room since it was a reg. cab. But everything under their looks aftermarket. Just do the slips from 3 to 2.5 and your good to go. good luck.

 

yah i'll take some pics and see how it goes!

 

Yup..got the odl stuff off today...AND...

ITs going to the exhaust shop when I get time to get some custom pipes done!

 

some people have had bad luck with leaks using the slip-fit style collectors. i had 3-bolt flanges welded on my collectors. no lekas after almost 2 years.

 

I'm putting a set on my ecsb when they come in. All thats on it now is a flowmaster catback.
When I get started on changing this I need to be done. This is the only vehicle I can drive since my blazer is still down.
If for some reason I don't get done putting it together on my days off how much of it should I get done before I drive it? I don't know how long the 5.3 can run with strait header. (if thats as much as I get done)
I know it'll be loud as hell but that won't stop me from driving it.

When I did the blazer I just took it in to the exhaust shop, but the bung hole welded the shorties to the rest of the pipe. So now when i pull the engine I have to make sure i rope the pipes off to the sides so there's enough room (s10 4x4).

 

 

yah thats my plan for tomorrow...flanges on the header to pipe...
