    I like the contrast and dig the raw aluminum look against that green! Very nice!

    Thanks to everyone for the comments, likes, and encouragement. Its greatly appreciated. I'm really excited at this point of the build (putting it back together) its really going to be nice to start this engine with it between the frame rails. I got home yesterday and the exhaust kit was on the front porch. I need a couple of other things but I'm looking and thinking about how I want to configure the exhaust.

    I ordered the pipes from hooker to bolt on the manifolds. They maybe were a bit expensive for what they were but they fit perfect and had the 02 bungs in them already. I don't mind paying a little extra if I'm happy with it. The sound deaden-er is worth every bit of money and time. Make sure to do the inside of the doors also, it makes a day and night difference. I love the color!

    I agree, the doors and the roof can make a huge difference in the sound and feel. It ain't cheap to be sure but it makes all the difference and it's never seen.

    I started working on the exhaust. I got it about half way done. I stopped at where I will be connection the second half of the exhaust with marman v-band flanges.
    Any way these are the components I used.
    2010 Camaro Shorty Headers
    2010 Camaro Flanges

    Jegs universal 2 ½ exhaust kit

    Jegs 2 ½ H-pipe kit

    Oxygen Sensors Bungs

    Marman V-band flanges will tie the front and rear sections together

    Here are some pics on the install so far.
    Tack together for a test fit to the h-pipe

    Completely welded and Marman v-band flanges installed. The is the front section

    Installed in the truck.
