new exhaust...SW content

[1sweetSVT]

picked up the headers and x-pipe from beefcake for an awesome price, and found a lightly used catback from a local svtp member. had the tips pc'ed gloss black locally as well.

im very pleased with the overall quality and finish of the headers, will see how the fitment is next sunday when its gets intalled. me and my bro were going to attempt the install in his driveway on jack stands but after talking to his old buddy/business partner (anthony@RWHP) we will now have a lift and hopefully dyno at our disposal. im hoping to make a completely stock pull, install the whole exhaust, and make another pull....same dyno, same day, same conditions...no other mods on the car currently. very curious to see stock/full exhaust differences on the dyno. if it ever stops raining down here ill gets some before and after vids of the exhaust and be sure to post the before/after dyno vids....if i can indeed get on the dyno. cant wait to get this system on.

k member is def coming down

gonna use SW's supplied bolts, and rtv with the stock gaskets...but what is the o2 extension for? does one side not reach?

 

[BV600]

I don't remember about the O2s but I do know we used extensions on my friends 12.

Love the tips.

I sprayed mine high temp flat black for the el-cheapo version to pc'ing.

DO NOT USE EXTENSIONS!
They have caused engines to blow up in the past!

Just follow the harness and unclip it from around the bell housing.
It looks like it won't reach, but it definitely does.
Save yourself a lot of problems down the road and toss those o2 extenders in the trash right now.
After you get them all connected, grab a few zip ties and strap the harness away from the headers and prevent it from getting ruined on something. Secure it to the bell housing.

Do not use any 02 extensions!!!

The harness will fit you just have to unhook it.

good to know. whats the problem with the supplied extenions though? its only wire and connectors, how can those fail?

 

[BV600]

Don't know been working great on my friends 12' for over a year

 

[Blazer707@TBR]

They have crappy connectors on them, pin fit is awful and also they come unclipped sometimes.

There is no point at all to be running the extensions.

There has been motors blown due to them.

Thanks for the business!

Chris, use the factory studs for mounting the headers and factory exhaust gaskets. Like said above no need for the extensions. Don't use them they suck.

reuse all the stock hardware and gaskets, pull the o2's off the bolts on top of the trans

all will be perfect
