It was 2 hours plus I did the inner barrel. There was some Nasty greese on the inside took me forever. Here is a before from the seller. You can see how dull they look.

I've been looking for a set of those for the longest time! Where did you find them?

Just looking on LS1tech. It was in Parts classified and I was the first to contact him. It just so happened he was 45 mins from my house. So went to meet him today. He was asking 400, got him to 375. Came with center caps, lugs and caps. Tires are very worn and dry rotted. So probably just going let them sit till I buy a set of summer tires.

Nice find. The cleaned up on looks great. Congratulations!

demonspeed · 07-28-2012, 09:48 AM

Definitely a good deal. I'd like to replace my 10-spokes with chrome ZR1s as well.

insidethreat07 · 07-28-2012, 09:54 AM

are you thinking about getting rid of your 10 spokes?
I might be in the market for a couple to mount some DRs on

73camarolt · 08-17-2012, 04:41 PM

Okay so my car threw a code, PO420. Basically my driver side cat is bad, which I knew from the rattling. I'm not in the position for a set of long tubes so I am going to get some direct fit high flows. Also in the mean time I pulled of the stock grille. Looks better then the cheap plastic but still want a SLP grille sooner or later. Will post pics tomorrow.

You may be able to find someone's stock cats who has done LT's.

I thought about that and it would be cheaper. But my cats only have 50k miles on them and they are going bad so I wouldn't trust a use set. Plus I will be getting a new y pipe and the high flows should give it alittle more sound.

Lee0123567 · 08-17-2012, 10:07 PM

Just cut it out and put in a piece of pipe

73camarolt · 08-17-2012, 11:58 PM

Well now I'm thinking LT's. I was worried with the LM2 because I heard a video And it sounded like a trumpet. But did some research and shouldn't sound that bad. Just need to decided what kind? Looking at Pace setter, BBK and TSP. Must have cats, whether I buy a tsp catted y or buy a ORY and have cats welded in. Just want to keep it under 8 or 900. Going to start saving now. I erased the code and it hasn't come back yet.

demonspeed · 08-18-2012, 08:33 AM

TSP 1 7/8. Stainless, excellent quality, $500. Can't be beat.

If you want 1 3/4, just go with eBay brands. Stainless for less than the price of cheap pacesetters. Supposedly great fit, too.

ndtguy · 08-18-2012, 09:00 AM

I wouldn't rule out the bbk long tubes either. 500 for headers and the y pipe with ceramic coating. Quite a few good reviews on ls1tech and everyone says very easy to install. One guy has a 6.0 with a 224 cam putting down 46x table with the bbk setup.

Yea i really like the TSP headers. Would it be worth saving the 100 and going with TSP 1 3/4?

Yea i saw good things about BBK but the only thing is they dont have a catted y. That is kind of a deal breaker for me.

But anyways just washed the car this morning, here are a few pics with my no grille mod. Im thinking about getting some inlays.
