that is correct, the headers go in no problem. You will have to modify either the y-pipe or the stock exhaust. I chose to modify the stock exhaust so I wouldn't chop up the y-pipe. You just have to cut back the stock pipe about 7 inches that's it, no biggy

None what so ever, except for the fact that the rear ones aren't connected to anything. As soon as I get the truck tuned, I'm going to tune out the rear 02's so no issue there-

Very nice!! Hopefully I'll be doing mine this weekend if the road to my shop drys up enough to get down there. I think I'm going to modify the Y pipe rather than the stock mid pipe just because I can do that without having to take it to a muffler shop.

great idea on the coating yourself. If i were to coat a set of pacesetter LT's, would it make them last alot longer? i remember being told the non coated LT's are good for 4-5 years but can i get 7 or so if i coat them myself?

I'm going to fail you on this one buddy. I've never used this coating before, but it went on pretty good and stayed there pretty good after heating it up a bunch of times after the install. I guess only time will tell if it's going to hold. Also think about the heat there is not near as much heat at the y-pipe as there is at the headers. The coating says it's good for 1700 deg
