Duramax is happy. No flights on the board for the next two weeks. Finally time to focus.

Absolutely. The headers will be fully routed and welded by then.

Trying to make sure there’s room to drain the oil.

Amazing work as always, hurts my brain just trying to look at everything in the pics.

Hurts my brain making it!

Need more room for the drain fitting, so #4 is going to Rev1.

Could you imagine doing this on the suburban? That’s why I don’t want to do a real custom exhaust on mine.

It’s shocking how little space there is in the suburban for work like this, but it would be fun.

Morning mockups lead to afternoon tacks.





Not trying to drag anything.

Did you raise/lower the engine at all with the exhaust in mind, or are you just working from another reason for the engine position?

I set the engine there with the crossovers in mind. At the time, I was using a different oil pan, but the OE LS7 one had similar clearances.
