the bowtie is the same but different clips on the back. If you cut 1 of the clips off the original it will fit.

[TonyNo]

Yup, bottom center, iirc.

yay for bumping old threads!

I finally pulled the trigger yesterday on headers! Got a great deal from a guy local on C5. I will hopefully be picking them up Friday evening.

One issue. They are dynatech long tubes 1 7/8ths with 3in catted connection pipe. My solo exhaust is 2.5in so I will need to find some way of attaching them without hacking either of them up.

I'm thinking about a reducer but do I do 3in OD to 2.5 OD and have it go inside both pipes?

Or do I wait and actually measure the outside and try to find a 3.75in ID to 2.75in ID to go over? (those are estimated sizes btw)

ID = inside diameter
OD = outside diameter

Just in case there is confusion.

I really want to find a shop that will make me a 2.5in off road connection but I don't know if they will do it or how much it will cost.

I called dynatech and it's almost $400 for a off road connection pipe.

Not sure where you live but there is a shop in Joliet called Oxbo exhaust. They are a small old gas station style shop that does anything and everything . All custom . I sent Tansor there ask him how he likes them . The best around

Joliet is not far at all from me. maybe 40 mins. Anyone in particular to talk to?

[Toasty]

Also, Fair Muffler in La Grange does good work, will do off road pipes, etc

Tony is the owner I believe. Anyone there can answer or help you . I'm thinking of heading down there in a week so they can make me an x pipe before I go to the Nationals

Steve, there is a Merlins that I deal with in Villa Park, North Ave. and Ardmore. Ask for Dave, he is the manager and a big hot rodder. He did my son's Z28 before he wrecked it and he had no problem removing his cat. when he did the exhaust.

[steveo9043]

Well I found a guy on c5 wanting 3in dynatech connections. So we made the swap with him paying all shipping.

Plan is to get these bad boys installed tonight!

[steveo9043]

Not the prettiest of things but for $575 all in, I think it's a hell of a deal!

[SYCK SS]

Who cares what they look like! That's a steal! Lol

sent from my galaxy s3. that would explain the errors.

[TonyNo]

I'm guessing that those never saw a winter. Nice deal.

The guy with the headers said they only seen 1800 miles. The connections seen about 10k in Cali

[FreakyFastFreddie]

Yep, great deal and think you're going to like them.

[steveo9043]

Woo hoo finally home! Took it for a quick ride with my uncle down north ave. got on it and it screams! Luckily I could still hear my radar detector tho :-)
