No chance of beach time next week there Brad? Gonna' try to get up with J Fletcher and do some range time one day. 9 beds; only me, sis + stepmom... Gonna' squeeze a few .30 Carbine, M1A .308. My Rock-Ola is a REAL tack driver, ESPECIALLY for .30 Carbine...

Racetronix sells extentions for the 02 sensors. The ones I ordered for the Z06 were very long. Once they were plugged in and folded several times, I put that DEI wrap over the wiring and tied up out of the way.

Chuck next week will be impossible for a me. A young man still having to grind out to make a buck!

I appreciate the offer and hope you have a great time.

You and others should look into the show at MB in June I spoke of!

Headers and auto,
I use JEAL headers with power effects cat back system.When i put the
4l80E auto in i removed the ball joint on drivers side and made it a slip joint
just like the pass side.
On the pass side i cut the collector just after the weld
a pie shape to move the collector away from the transmission pan by about
3/8 in. I installed the shift cable then the exhaust on drivers side of course
it rubbed , marked the rub area removed exhaust made adjustment. Re install
shift cable then exhaust and got just enough room. Ok now remove exhaust
for room to work rapped DEI alu tape around shift cable about 6 in long. I
left the shift arm uncovered. Now because the exhaust tubing hangs a little
lower i routed the shift cable over the top of the transmission which helps
keep the cable away from the exhaust pipe. I have some pics but having
trouble posting them. i can e-mail to you if you what them.
Some exhaust tubing of the same size as the power effects was used to
connect the collectors to the power effects curved pipe then to the
resonator

Wow!

Sounds like I'm having a picnic, compared to THAT!

I WOULD like to see some snappics of that hardware...

Do cat shields go into place with headers here???

[We Gone]

I put back all the ones that fasten to the frame & tunnel, just not the ones that were on the original manifolds.

[Schrade]

Got it there Steve; thanks...

And the AIR pump? Just pull the plug?

[We Gone]

Yes, I also removed the air pump completely and covered the plugs so they would not get corded.

No big deal there JB; I was just curious to see what you got workin' there...

I got headers both sides locked in, FORGOT TO GET THE DIPSTICK IN PLACE. Hope it will snake in between the pipes...

P side O2 not connected yet either... Will it reach? Will I be able to re-route the harness when we get back on it?

Rest of pipes should be a cakewalk - had to pack up and head for the NC coast for a week here.

here are the photos of transmission and exhaust system .
