Exhaust Q's

[95GTV8]

Ok, here is my situaton my engine is out of my car, the crankshaft got destroyed, so im getting a new 5.0 put in. Don't have any money for anything else, anyways here is my dillemma. I was thinking of buying some LT headers (MAC) and having the shop put them on the car while the engines out to save me some hassle down the road. But if i get the LT's will i have to change everything else aswell stock midpipe + stock catback? I don't care about emissions but if i get the LT's will they not fit onto the stock h pipe? I want to eventually get all 3 headers, midpipe, catback but due to money i don't think i can cough up the money for all 3, i know i can come back later and do the h pipe/catback myself but i was thinking that if i put the headers on know it would make life easier down the road. So i need to know that if i just put LT's on know would the other stuff connect back up. Thank you.

not going to work. you need a long tube mid pipe, and i dont think you can drop the engine in with lt's attached.

allright, how hard is it to install them with engine in?

shouldnt be to hard. it will be a little frusrating but if you take your time it can be done.

The cat-back that you have will work just fine with it. The h-pipe will not work without some modifications, and you can put the motor back in with them attached, well at least I did when I put my new motor in. I am not sure about a stock h-pipe but I cut and modified my bbk off road h-pipe to work with my long headers but having access to a welder made that possible. An exhaust shop might be able to do it for you but chances are you are better off just spending about 150.00 for a new short off road h-pipe. If the shop says that they cannot drop the motor in with them attached it would be much easier to bolt them up before they bolt the motor down and leave it swinging a little and then bolt them up from the underside.
