Building my LSx exhaust

LQ4 6.0 w/4L80 & 3.73 locker
Truck is 1985 C/10 SWB
1 3/4" stainless shorty for 2000 Silverado.
Dual 3" into Flowmaster super 44
Single 3 1/2" out

I still need to make the tailpipe, but it's hard to shape the big pipe over the rear on a lowered truck.

Just a tailpipe away from putting the body back on the frame.

Re: Building my LSx exhaust

Nice work! Looks really good. I think the exhaust was the 2nd worst part of doing my swap, for me. Next time, I'll be paying someone, so I can really appreciate the nice work you've put into yours!

Re: Building my LSx exhaust

Thanks guys. I really like these V-band clamps. They make nice exhaust joints.

Question Re: Building my LSx exhaust

Nice work. Yes those clamps are nice. I have them on mine as well.

I have to ask though, why didn't you go with duals on it?

It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: Building my LSx exhaust

I just wanted to try something different. I believe it should flow as good as a small 2.5" dual system?
