Will this work...

JASonic · November 22nd, 2008, 01:47 PM

Can I use these? 3.8, convertible (I have the supports on the underbody). My exhaust is custom from he cats back.

There is no way in hell I'll attempt to hook them up myself. I'll have a shop do it. But the shops are telling me 500-600 just for the long tubes. If I buy these myself, then I can negotiate the labor... but I need to know what I should expect as far as complications on instal. Any feedback will be nice. TY!

It will be fine.

O yea before you order them i would contact them to see if they have them in stock. I had to look at 3-4 sites before i found one in that had them in stock. If they dont have them in stock it could take 3-4 weeks i was like F that.

should fit like a glove

i waited 6 weeks on mine, no problem on my end, it gave me 6 more weeks to chose a muffler.

unbolt your cats from the stock manifolds and drop your exhaust, install headers, go to shop hand them your exhaust and tell them to reinstall it and hook it up to the LT's itll save you about 300 bucks

+1

It may take a long time to do this but its worth a try instead of wasting 300+ on just the LT install. I didnt realize it was going to be that much when i had mine installed, if i did i would have took a look at it. If i would have done this myself i would have my 4.10s and tlock installed already

Buy the lt's and H pipe and Install the headers anh H pipe then a muffler shop can make the exhaust fit...should be fairly cheap.

That sound like a plan. I found a shop that will ship me the H pipe, LT's and the sensor extensions for $539....and he has them in stock ready for me. Does $539 sound good?

no that sounds ridiculous
