Default MAC Long tubes and catted H going in Sat...

Couple things...

on the inside of the tubes, (engine end) there is some excess weld left, should i dremel this out? or will it not make a difference?

also, any last minute tips? My 2 buddies are comming over to help me and they are both auto techs by profession (one guy has pulled and rebuilt 2 4.6 ford engines) so im pretty confident we can get the job done. Any tips from guys that have done it before would be helpful. I will make sure to document it with pics, vids etc and do a write up the best i can

I had the same stuff on my LTs, and I just bought a set of LTs for my buddies 00 LS1 (he has no credit card) and they have the same thing on them. It shouldn't be a problem.

One tip, with the KB on there you better hit the dyno before you hit the gas. Anything as major as a LT install is probably gonna need a retune.

believe it or not, N/A when i added the X pipe (in addition to the 75mmtb, Plenum, CAI and catback) the car was running so lean it needed to be dyno tuned.....with no tune i was a few tenths shy of 223rwhp and it fell on its *** after 4500rpm's[&:]My car is very strange...if you look at it wrong it needs a new tune it seems

Well just stay out of boost and get to the dyno, you should be fine.

But in any case, the LTs welds are nothing to worry about.
