Re: Typhoon #2016. Twin Turbo LS1
and finally found some time to fab up the exhaust system this weekend....6 months later. :lol:
I raised the pipes up a little bit so that you can't see the cats/mufflers when the truck is on the ground. I had to add a small s bend to go around a body mount...wasn't too difficult. But not everyone (mattw)enjoyed my grinding to clean up welds :lol: To his delight, and with smaug's help, got some more hands and better welder settings so the last many welds were good to go off the table.
cleaning up the s bend..
In this pic from left to right: Sy381, MattW, Sharkbait, and me...was getting everyone's opinion on the best height to mount the cats/mufflers:
a nice dark pic of me mocking up the passenger side S bend:
And some crappy iphone video of the truck running with the new exhaust setup:
I still have to make some hangers and get some band clamps...but i'm pleased with how it turned out. Sounds pretty nice/throaty...and really quieted the truck up inside the cab. Now i guess i'll have to pay attention to my passengers when cruising. :lol: But what a difference going from open turbos to a complete exhaust.

Is that stuff you have to have every year, or just the initial inspection?

Re: Typhoon #2016. Twin Turbo LS1
the initial inspection / first year...after that as long as i keep it below 5,000mi/yr, i can be emissions exempt in PA.

you would have really enjoyed the egr block-off plate flying up in the air anytime he got into boost..
on that note you would have also REALLY enjoyed watching him attempt to do a launch and build boost while both of his turbos were disconnected from the intercooler, which was also disconnected from the intake :lol:
