Re: My LS6 swap

One pics shows an exhaust pipe under the pan like normal, but another pic suggests the crossover pip goes OVER the tranny.....How is the exhaust done?

I wanted lots of clearance, quiet, and cats (kinda goes with quiet). It passed inspection and even though they only need to do a visual inspectino I asked them to sniff it to see...and it still would have passed. It is quiet and I love it. Its quiet enough I was behind some dumbarse mustang that had no mufflers and I could not hear own exhaust...so I passed him

I imagine the picture you are refering to is the one that shows the Y-pipe and thats coming down from the right (passenger) manifold. I can see how it looks like it goes over the tranny. Basically its ran exactly as stock. In 3" of course.

Its eactly like a 3rd gen Fbody is routed. DR side comes strait down then in front of the pan and routed back at the Y (T pipe). Pass side comes down just in time to join up and exit in the factory style catback location

Nothing goes over the trans

Nope, mine stays around Mint Hill. It'll be at AutoFair this weekend though. In GMMOC, not the f-body club.

Not really a beauty on the outside, but it's definitely a beast! I love that blue you used on the intake / engine bay though.

Paint is basically done, I just uploaded a couple of pics. No emblems or foglights yet but you get the idea. They are on the last page.
