The new block, heads, new motor mounts and trans mount seem to have raised the engine up. It almost looks like my engine cover won't fit anymore. I'll have to check that out tomorrow.

Oh, I forgot my hubby got a few pics today.

Any chance your hubby is a weldurr? Don't let that exhaust hold you up! Hundreds are being kept in suspense!

As a matter of fact, he is! Thank you for this link, you just saved me a ton of time figuring this out. I only need this to work for a few weeks.

The stock exhaust is only going to be on for a little while longer, because I want 3" true duals when I get my tax money back. The tailpipes will be hidden like I did for the old 05 tahoe I used to have.

Thanks again, this was stressing me out all night.

True duals? So you were gonna cut the Y-pipe anyway, yeah?

Yeah, that Y-pipe was gonna be cut anyhow. But for today, I am going to just cut the end of it off like you showed me, and cut the flange off my stock Y-pipe, weld it on to the ARH system, and mate It up to the stock system. After I get my taxes back or if Bidenbux comes, I will be doing true duals. I would do it now, but I'm still deciding on what mufflers I want, and the awesome exhaust shop I go to is booked up for a few weeks.

After cutting the flange off my stock Y-pipe, I bolted it to the stock system to get it clocked properly. I may have drawn a couple of lines along the length of the pipe, crossing the butt joints so I'd have references when I took it off the Tahoe to weld it out.

Took today off to finish this beast. My buddy that ownes the shop I'm doing all this at needs his space back, and I need my hoe back too. Gonna start wrenching early this morning, hopefully today goes smoother than Sunday did. It sucks my camera is broke though

Camera...? Phone pics for this will be just fine. No worries...... please don’t forget to get some, we’re all waiting...! And startup video... ahem.
