I brought the off road connection pipes,does the 3 inch go towards the headers or, does the smaller 2.5 side go towards the headers because I can't clamp the 2.5 to a 2.5 leading towards the exhaust,I can't fit one over the other or are they not supposed to over lap or just kiss each other and add a clamp?
I'm guessing you probably got it together by now, but the 3 inch side goes to the headers and 2.5 to rear section of exhaust. The 2.5 doesn't slip over, both ends just meet up, and you should have used the original clamp that came on the car to slide over both ends and hold them together.
@@tripphopper3374 thank you,I did eventually figured it out,did more homework on exhaust clamps. I did not know they could both butt together.I thought all exhaust pipe over lapped each other,unless you weild it.First time messing with exhaust on a car.
You can probably get by with the stock ones, but you need to put boots on them to keep from burning them. I order 1in longer for my car I have the black car.
We actually use the stock exhaust manifold gasket they were still in great shape. The header bolts were replaced with new ones and anti-seize was used when installed
We use the bolts that came with this kit. When I installed the same headers on my black car I just bought headers only, and bought my header bolts and O2 extensions off of eBay I came out about $30 cheaper
I actually brought it from a guy in hopes it would work on mine. Unfortunately it didn’t so I sold it to him. I brought it from a friend he got something eles
Since the oem has 2 oxygen sensors cables on each side. What did you guys do with the 2nd one after the catalyptic converter? Since these Speed engineering headers only have for 1 sensor
We just unplugged them and I highly recommend maybe getting some kind a ziplog bag and zip tied over the plug so any water doesn’t get in there and corrode anything. The tuner will be able to tune those out
Yeah it’s weird how these are made because we put the same set on my buddy Yellow Camaro and they actually hit the frame just a tad bit, but on my black car they didn’t hit
Yeah I bought the headers only I bought mine extensions and head bolts off of eBay and I came in little bit cheaper almost about $30 cheaper than what this guy did
My favorite part other than the sound was the lack of ventilation. Lol. After 10 or so beers you are going to forget to vent the garage and never wake up. Just saying. Play smart
@@ky_chevy2824 yeah I have a 2012 I wanna put some on mine. Worried about having to have to pull a head if it happens. I would deff replace with new ones tho. Just to have them newer and more reliable
@@triggas80 What I would do like we did in this video and my other video we started the car up and let the kids get little warm that way the metal will expand and I would break them loose while it’s warm. I just don’t get the car too hot because you won’t be able to get close to the headers without burning yourself
@@ky_chevy2824 good idea frl. I put headers on my Tahoe a while back more so for the sound and broke both bolts in the back on either side. Passenger side we drilled out and fixed the driver side we order a block manifold clamp cus you cant get in there to drill without removing the head lol
