LT headers w/ stock y pipe???

[JennaBear]

We did a lot of cutting and welding. We moved the crossover pipe back about 1.5", cut and mounted the cats further back to clear the headers. I don't think that we have any pics of the completed system, but I am pretty sure an exhaust shop should be able to get the job done.

the only exhaust shop around here that would do it wanted 200 just to make the off road y pipe... so i just bought one and am going to skip the cats. Is there any ill effects from not having cats??(worse mileage or anything?) i am pretty sure that justin turned my rear o2's off during my tune, so removing them shouldn't hurt anything. by the way are there any plans for another trip to Minnesota?? I could use a retune and i'm sure there are more people who want a tune.

By the way anyone put lt's on and notice a seat of the pants improvement in power?? It has been a bit wet here, but when accelerating uphill hard it likes to shift my rear end sideways a bit when it goes from 1st to 2nd(must spin the tires a bit).... it has done that twice, and both are spots that i have previously driven in the rain under similar hard acceleration and never had my rear end move sideways(its just enough to unsettle ur stomach like your gonna do a big fishtail and then it straightens out and keeps pulling).... so either its a good "seat of the pants" gain or my tires are just getting worse.

Mine will be going in this weekend. I will let you know if any what I feel. I guess I will have to modify my y pipe or just buy an o/r y soon.

definitely keep me posted on the install. being in Va, we have emissions to worry about and so I would still need my cats. ideally, a bolt on solution as opposed to cutting and welding would be better for me.

I am in VA too, no problems with emissions with the way we set it up.

Anybody with LT headers and O/R y pipe in California and passed emissions? I want to get it but I might have to get a smog test every year while Im stationed here. Truck registered in NC, but I have to check and see.

 

[JennaBear]

You will need to get CA LTs, I think Bassani midlengths are the only ones that pass SMOG.

This sucks raining here all day so far.

It's been a good improvement. Some noticeable gains in the drivers seat dyno once they were installed and even more once I got my tune done. No emmissions testing BS for me here.
