Well realized I don't have video anymore on my phone, so I went home for lunch (save some money). Then remembered I put the old exhaust on youtube. so here is a couple. I am missing one tip now, as that is why I am changing my to a side exit.

Yea I got all oldstyle engine parts but hybrid with the new 98 style on some things. It sucks getting parts. I know the flow is bad in the factory y but I'm not gonna replace that untill I replace headers. My cat is SI / SO with forward and aft o2 So just gonna go behind the last o2 lop off the exhaust and get all new the whole way back.

I've been told that LT's on our 4WD's are a PITA to get in

You don't wanna install a set of LT's in a parking lot with a couple jack stands and a floor jack? Lol the lack of an accessible lift is why I don't have a set on mine. I'm hoping my buddy that just bought a house with a decent size shop will realize how much he needs one and fork out the cash for one lol

Hahaha Yea did many of repairs that way. Did ya see my garage. Yea. Used to have to do it in a gravel driveway. That was a trip. He has a 40x80 shop and has a lift, a furnace, dual doors, forklift, I beams, body pullers, at least 8 engines on a rack. It is insane.
