Longtubes........
Yeah what a pain... Well its been going good so its not as bad as say.. the first time I did sparkplugs and wires. I got to the shop this morning and got a lift... Next to me was a 04-05 GTO, The guy was installing on some Kooks LT with true duals into some mufflers. Ended up not sounding good I wasnt impressed. Anyways onto my story. I started on the exhaust everything was welded so I have to cut right before the rear axle, Ill have to get a pipe together later on, Right now ill be running open headers. I PBed every bolt the other night and again this morning waiting for the engine to cool down. Didnt have to much of a problem Only bolts that broke were the ones comming off the manifolds on the ypipe section 5 broke 1 came loose. I have both manifolds off, Wire and spark plugs out, Air and EGR gone. Tomorrow I have to finish taking the piping from the AIR off and then put everything back together.

Best of luck. Took me a couple of hours to install my Kooks with
their dual-cats/y and all the emissions stuff. And contrary to your
"opponent" in the next stall, mine sound pretty bad-@ss. Of course,
it does matter what all is connected behind the y-pipe
Good luck!

I finished up everything today.. Did not get a change to do the OTVC because it was closing time in the shop so I threw on my old MSD wires and zip tied away. I do have a problem with the O2 sensors, I have O2 sims with square end hooked up... The O2s that I have on the headers are long "oval" shaped and the wires dont reach to them, The extention I have are also square shaped.. Ive been working on the car all day and my mind is going blank. Can someone let me in on some info of whats wrong.
