Got the not high heat paint off and the secondary air pump holes welded up because that stuff won't be going on. I'll have them painted tomorrow and hopefully on the car Sunday.

Had the old ones out for a few day now just waiting on these to show up. Also got my march power steering pump pulley

Thanks for the detailed post!
So few follow through and post such details up.

I am interested in how well the LTs mate up to the Midpipe and the ground clearance!!

Finally fitting the k memeber up. I did clearance the frame and k member before hand via a YouTube video I stumbled across. Worked like a charm and the steering shaft doesn't rub. Now I wait on my starter heat shield and o2 extensions to finish the job.

All in all price considered I say they're worth the extra work over a bbk or even a more expensive header. You will have to clearance and you will have to coat then. But that work is well under what I would consider a few hundred bucks.

Should have pipes from the exhaust shop Monday to hook the X up. That is gonna be another weld/fab project making reducers but for 40 bucks worth of pipe vs spending a few hundred on an X pipe that doesn't work its well worth it again.

Here's a few pictures.

Ok after much wait... she runs lol. I've got some stuff to finish up like powersteering and install the front suspension and brakes but it's all running. Also need to finish deleting the secondary air pump stuff but other than that soon it's off to the back end for a fuel pump and more suspension goodies

Ground clearance will be a while. I might order coil overs haven't decided but I can definitely get some of the k memeber area

Finally got around to finishing this. And Holy shit am I tired of fab work lol. Installed some new flowmaster flow fx mufflers. Slp lm1 was just too loud for me. These should be almost identical to a LM2 muffler and quiet it down a bit

Don't see any ground clearance issues at all. They sit about the k member brace so it looks like I haven't lost any. Now I do need to rotate the clamps because I'm an idiot but other than that it's good to go

I hope to make it to the dyno this year. I'm really hoping to hit about 300 closer to 320 like some of the older guys did in like 2010.

What kind of hardware did you use for the headers? I have a set of Pacesetter headers and x-pipe to install in a couple weeks.
