Anyone here running f body manifolds?
Anyone here running f body manifolds?
I’m needing some pics of exhaust set ups with the factory ls1 manifolds and y pipe. I’m not seeing any good way to route this and have clearance in all the right places.

Re: Anyone here running f body manifolds?
I am. I ran my exhaust just the like stock TPI with the F-body manifolds. I actually used a Magnaflow stainless Y pipe and modified it to work with the 4th gen manifolds.

I still may go this route if I can’t find anything better.

Re: Anyone here running f body manifolds?
I've got stock 2000 manifolds with stock 2000 cats on mine. But I'm running a BMR K member, I don't think the cats would of worked with the stock kmemeber. I cut the pipe on the cats and re clocked them so they fit. Which changed everything down stream. So I extended the pipe on the driver side so the flange was in a wider area. The y pipe is custom (and ugly) -- that is on my to redo list once I get everything else done (I'll probably take it to a muffler shop) tack welding exhaust laying under the car wasn't my idea of fun. I cobbled it together using pipe from the donor car and the thirdgen.
There are a few pictures in my build thread.

I have a stock crossmember, and one of the Holley pans (actually equivalent, but it's essentially the same) and I am running between the oil pan and the crossmember, just like a stock TPI

Dang my pan is the f body pan and factory k member. I’ve got like an inch of clearance between them.
