I started working on the exhaust. I got it about half way done. I stopped at where I will be connection the second half of the exhaust with marman v-band flanges.
Any way these are the components I used. 2010 Camaro Shorty Headers 2010 Camaro Flanges Jegs universal 2 ½ exhaust kit Jegs 2 ½ H-pipe kit Oxygen Sensors Bungs Marman V-band flanges will tie the front and rear sections together Here are some pics on the install so far. Tack together for a test fit to the h-pipe Completely welded and Marman v-band flanges installed. The is the front section Installed in the truck.

I like your home made Morman V clamp fittings, I see how you cut those Flared tube pieces and were inserting the flat doughnut cut out piece to weld together Too make your own fittings, have to admit I like the Idea Very creative! Dennis B.

Doright, I did not make those v clamps I purchase them at https://gbemandrel.com/. I like them because the regular v clamps are prone to leaking because the heat of welding warps the flanges if your not careful. With these all your HAZ will be on the pipe so heat does not affect the flange area. |

Completed the rear section of the exhaust. The mufflers are Dynomax race bullets.
