Do you have the run the pacesetter ORY then? Thats the only one i see on there besides a dynotech. There any stainless sets out there that include the ORY? I looked a bit on summit but didnt see a kit that has both and there headers are bit pricer anyway.

Is stainless the only finish you would recommend due to the fact I deal with the salt? I'm noticing most are painted or ceramic and not alot of options for stainless.

 

I'd recommend only stainless...especially with salt around. And yes the pacesetter ORY is the only option unless you get an exhaust shop to weld from the headers back but that's gonna be way expensive

 

So i just got to thinking. What about the egr tube that runs into the driver side manifold??

Also just curious what the stock manifolds are, there not stainless

 

That Egr tube can be tune out. Just plug the hole goin to the intake and done. And they're cast iron

 

Perfect. Only worry I have is actually getting the bolts out of the manifolds since there so rusted.

 

I just did it on mine. 2 of the heads of the bolts were broke off and I got them all out. Spray em down with pb blaster for a few nights. Before install let your truck cool down for a while then start it up for 30-45 seconds. This lets the block heat up but the bolts don't have time to so the block expands and gives room for the bolts to be backed out

 

Sounds good thanks for the advice. What set of headers did you put on yours?

 

Texas speed stainless steel LT's

 

Did you have any clearance issues or anything rubbing? I was reading somewhere that some of them rub up aganst the steering shaft.

 

Oh absolutely not. They had great fitment on these. I had around 2-3" of clearance everywhere
