Here are some pictures of the install on my 99 C5 vette. Exhaust is now full stainless from headers to tips :thumbsup: Consists of Longtubes into a 3" catted X pipe and out the back through a Corsa Pace Car catback. Huge thanks to Casey, Jeff, George, Kevin, and Bill for the extra hands and help on the install! I am VERY happy with the outcome of the system as a whole and the sound the car has. Anyway, here are a couple of the completed pics and cool pics in Casey's awesome barn!

Hell of a garage set up looks great!. Enjoy em, they won't stay that shiney for very long. :sagrin: Are they Kooks?
 
The subframe didnt have to be dropped, but the oil pan did. It was a lot of fun and turned out great! Nothing like a late night out in the garage with your friends. :thumbsup:
 
Oil pan dropped, because the 4 post ramps were taking up space we needed to maneuver the headers in from the bottom.

They are a prototype set that I was a test fitter for....

Was a good time for sure George, thanks for the help! I'm sure the neighbors weren't too happy when we fired it up at 4am!
 
Looks good! Those had to be fun to install..... Surprised you didn't have to move more to get them in there.

Thanks! Actually was not a difficult install at all. Had we known from the start that the oil pan dropping would make them slip right in the job would have been done hours earlier! :thumbsup:

haha thanks! Honestly the install really wasn't too bad. It took forever since we were trying to figure out a way to get them in and kept running into road blocks but nothing was really difficult. Had we dropped the pan from the start we could have done it in a few hours!

what a crazy oil pan on those cars! That thing looks slammed too.

Yea, the "batwing" as they call it. The "wings" really blocked space we needed to get the headers in so getting the thing out of the way was the ticket for this install!

It is pretty much slammed. Car has coilovers on it and the overall drop is near 3" all around :thumbsup:
 
like jon has been saying. the install was a pain in the ass for us, because we didnt have instructions. we were the guys who were making the instructions so we didnt know what had to be removed/moved/adjusted/etc. we had the top half (engine bay) tore right down very quickly and the stock manifolds and exhaust off in great time. figuring out what we had to move to get the headers in was the hard part. the exhaust bolted right up and only took us about 20 minutes to fit everything perfectly and get it squared away.

i have done long tubes on lt1 and ls1 f bodys and this was the first set i have done on a vette. i thought it would be ALOT harder than it was. next jonny wants to do a cam and a clutch. THAT should be fun......
 
Yea, once the oil pan was dropped down enough to move it side to side it really was a pretty simple install. We musta tried 75 different ways to slide them in with no success before we broke down and dropped the pan. They went right in after that :lol:
