Oh, just cause I'm bored I finally got around to finding those pics for the people who PM'd me about em..
Here are the stock cast manifolds:
And here are the LTs:
Oh and here are sh*tty/useless shorties:
Now imagine the stockers attached to 4 more cat before the exhaust is sandwiched into a single dual in/out mono champer muffler and there goes the exhaust.

I like Ls I think they run pretty damn good, and its cool that the factory built a supercharged truck.
When I was sitting the fence on installing the maggie I had sitting on my workbench my buddy let me drive his L...we installed the blower a week later
That being said I would go dizzy listening to him talk about pulleying smaller and smaller and higher boost and higher boost and higher boost and higher boost and hig....
I understand they are a l/c motor so they can take more boost, but I spent a long time telling him that higher boost isn't always faster. I felt like a lot of the people in the L/terminator world bought those vehicles because they were "fast" from the factory and weren't necessarily the motorheads that we are building our vehicles to go fast. They didn't always see the whole picture of doing the right mods to build a faster vehicle, they were more about chasing stats that they could brag about, Like what pound pulley they have.
I also hate how they called all the pulley sizes by how many lbs they make; when there are so many other variables that effect how much boost your making.
My 2 cents and a lil bit of stirring
