Great day!

We alsohad a new member from Annapolis show up (Bruce who has a white 1995 Z).

Thanks to Rich for his expertise!

The pieces were polished almost to "RICKY" standards!

:cheers:

Nice.
Put a warning with that exhaust it almost blinded me,very shiney.

Also is that someone's garage or shop,that's a huge garage.
I thought my garage was big that makes mine look silly.

Wow, nice job! I can't believe how you guys keep knocking out header installs like it's nothing! And yeah, that is one nice garage setup.

[Jagdpanzer]

Great work guys!
Did it pass the all 32 header bolt WAZOO QC check?

[RICKYRJ1]

Hey George, your exhaust brought a tear to my eye, You are no longer grasshopper my son, you are the Mantis. Nice choice on the B&B give my best to the family :cheers:

[Demps]

I gotta ask--what did Yun do? Was he the supervisor? JK

Awesome stuff. May be up there in a year or so.

Phil, in that department, the team was unsuccessful :cry: (Sorry I let WAZOO down). We only got 30, but Stage 8 bolts were not used for this job, so my custom header wrench was useless. It also took half the time leaving that bolt out on each side.

Ted, Yun did turn some wrenches even in his fancy duds!!!
Rich

Good job guys. Sorry I had to miss it, but occasionally us Civil Servants have to go to work. Hopefully I'll catch the next WAZOO event. I see Ricky has competition now!!!!

:mrgreen: I have a bad case of 'garage/shop envy' ... see I'm green with it.

No kidding that is a nice garage/work shop. :thumbsup:

I was trying to figure out if that whole exhaust system was chrome, that is sweet!


A question for you guys. I looked at my OEM exhaust manifolds, once, and the factory didn't get near all the bolts in all the holes. Is this a critical thing to keep in mind when installing headers on an LT5?
TIA
:cheers:

Tom,
Not critical however, an achievement one can take some pride in having faced the challenge and prevailed spite of the difficulty involved. Plus gives you somthing to brag about to all the guys who couldn't get all 32 screwed in.

I'm with you Tom, I thought I was looking at chrome, too. The shine on that exhaust system is amazing. I look up at mine now in disgust.

Tom,

I will let you in on a secret. Jim and I found a high temp epoxy... We are not going to tell Phil about this. Oops! Did I let the cat out the bag???

[LT5-1935]

Here are a couple of pictures of the complete exhaust (just hanging not tight)

[Scrrem]

Never mind... Package says "made in China".

Another brother running no cats, looks great George. Now we need to get the rest of the bottom polished up, I'll work for food :saluting:

Thanks Ricky we can start polishing the rear after English Town :cheers:

[tomtom72]

Okay guys....that's paint on that exhaust system!?!? Not ceramic coating? Or not just the stainless steel polished to a very, very high degree of finish?

I know you Yun.....are you being a bit tongue in cheek with me?:p

Seriously that is highly ( RICKYRJ1 polishing standards ) polished stainless steel, right?

You can tell me, it's okay really, I will not tell anyone your secrets....besides I live in NYS & have to pass smog. So my system will have coated cats along w/ the headers done by SWAIN-Tech in their most effective but decidedly fugly off white/gray & A.I.R. plumbing installed. My system will not be a show stopper like that system, it will be the nadir to that zenith! :sign10:

Hey, Tom,
Exhaust is polished SS. My joke was regarding 2 header bolts that are near impossible to get in position and fasten. We joke about cutting the threads off and gluing them on to the flange.
