More problems, Wahoo!!!!!!!

Apparently JEGS has a blind man who welds the O2 sensor bungs in on their catless y-pipe
This first pic shows the driverside front O2 bung, you could put one in there and it would be fine but just poor placement IMO.

This one shows the one that is keeping me from using the pipe, there is less then 3" of clearance therefore the O2 sensor wont fit in there

Good thing Im not using rear O2s cause I couldnt if I wanted to

So long story short, Im ordering my pacesetters and ypipe tomorrow instead of waiting till I get it up and running, so the soonest Ill be able to turn the key is late next week. If it aint one thing its another If I was catholic I would get a priest to come out and excise the demon out of my truck

I have a 'modified' set of pacesetters that are about 6-8 months old. I deleted the egr, and made collector bullets w/ merge style collectors. Uncoated. They are shown on an 80e truck. I also have a cross-over X-pipe that I built for them. I will get up-dated pictures if you are interested since the paint is flaking off now.

That's some funny **** Cody! I am Catholic. I might be able to get the priest from my church to perform an exorcism for you.

I would but I already have the vband clamps to get rid of pacesetters funky slip fit crap and the clamps on the ypipe. Why did you go to all the trouble of putting merge collectors on there, I couldnt imagine there being that much of a gain for all the PITA it would be to do that.

What a thoroughly retarded Y-pipe!

Maybe it's on backwards?

You're going to be way better off with the LT's anyways. Take your time and finish it off right. You've waited this long so another week isn't so bad.

Besides now you'll have time to write the Pope and request an exorcism

I take it you've got the fuel tank dealt with?

Hang in there chief. It'll all be worth it when you're motoring down the highway.
