Hammer, do you have pics of how the factory cats and O2 sensors and whatever Y-pipe you have hook up to your LT's?

I have a Y-pipe, 22" muffler and a 3" tailpipe all from Magnaflow sitting in garage waiting for install. I am thinking about headers, then more so after looking at yours!

For the record Long Tubes, cats retained, O2 sensors in place, pass emissions test:



No one ever said that LT's with the proper emission equipment wouldn't pass emissions, but an OR Y with no cats isn't going to. It isn't a guaranteed thing for LT's or shorties to pass either. My shorties with high flows have always had a CEL, even using the anti-foulers with steel wool, but I just happen to live in a county that doesn't test, so no real problem

I believe the later trucks had more strict PCM limits on how much "dirty" air the rear O2 could see. And a high flow cat will have "dirtier" air flowing out of it.

My old laptop's HDD took a dump with most of my pics, but I think I have an old phone with some. I'll throw it on charge and see what I got, if not I can climb under this weekend and take a pic or two...
