I can’t thank you enough for the install, you never gave up even through the frustration it threw at you.

[@bonecrrusherSS]

So you did see the upload - awesome!

[@brettlowenthal9989]

Yup, showed up yesterday as a alert on my RUclips app

[@bonecrrusherSS]

Glad I'm special like that.

In case anyone else see this and wants help with the hardest part of the swap... I added the passenger side forward O2 sensor extension without too much trouble. I unscrewed the sensor with the wire in place. It just twists the wires a bit. Removed the manifold, then, similar to mrbeastly4, I maneuvered really long needle nose pliers (Harbor Freight) up there to pull out the locking pin. Then used a really long screwdriver to lift the locking tab while tugging on the wire. Popped right off.
To install the harness extension, I positioned it up there with the long screwdriver, got it started, then pushed it the rest of the way in with the same screwdriver. I didn't bother with replacing the locking pin.
Whole process took about 20 minutes.
Hope this helps others!

[@bonecrrusherSS]

Thanks for sharing those tips.

[@villanelle4263]

Excellent video, thanks for recording and sharing it

[@bonecrrusherSS]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mrbeastly4]

i cut the sensor wire, pulled out the manifold, and unplugged it from underneath. with long needle nose- yank the wire so it unclips from the back of the head. then i pushed the plug up to the top and plugged in an extension. did it on jack stands.

[@bonecrrusherSS]

Good alternative.

[@jacksmith3189]

Good information
Thanks

[@davontebutler]

Could you please add the link for the connection pipes you used from the headers to oem exhaust

[@bonecrrusherSS]

I do not have a link for the Catback pipe - but it is Kooks #25103101.

[@davontebutler]

Thank you!

[@PNWG8]

Did you apply penetrating oil to loosen the stubborn O2 sensor?

[@bonecrrusherSS]

Yeah we did - 02 sensor was stuck in there and trashed my socket.

[@Gideon_Judges6]

I though automatic SS (and Camaro for that matter) came with L99 instead of the LS3?

[@bonecrrusherSS]

No SS has LS3 only.
Camaro had the L99.

[@7rrs]

Did you use 02 sensor extension and what’s the link for them?

[@bonecrrusherSS]

No I did not use the extensions.

[@mototune5797]

No cats? Are they louder without the cats?

[@bonecrrusherSS]

Cats are a restriction and do quiet down the exhaust a bit.

[@southeastdaygo6193]

For us simpletons how much HP total🤔now

[@bonecrrusherSS]

Dyno sheet is at the end of the video - 405 rwhp after the tune, headers, and intake.

[@southeastdaygo6193]

@@bonecrrusherSS I know that I seen it ,how much HP to the engine. I'm not smart when it comes to trying to figure power from the wheels to the engine

[@invertedpolarity6890]

So not actually an install video.

[@ericholland7050]

How much for the the set up

[@bonecrrusherSS]

I think Brett sold the parts already.
