Keep buggering on. No posts but average a couple hours a night work on the T/A. Exhaust install time. My favorite. GM provides a couple of catalytic converters with the EROD package; naturally GM sent the wrong ones. They seem to be workable so I cut and trimmed the flanges, tacked them into position, cut again and welded in to fit tighter under the car.



The passenger cats were wrong; the O2 senser was interfering with the subframe - not good. Simply capped off the bung, GM provided a few extra bungs so welded one in the correct position.





GM now uses band clamps - nice stuff. I used a band clamp in the rear, and added additional support under our cross-box. I used this box as the Thrush supplied had the head pipes welded turned up 5 degrees for some reason. This support was tied into the seat reinforcement. Pipes seem to tuck in nice.
