Here's
everything is came with.

Nice! Just got done installing an exhaust on my SS last night. Get a spring puller for sure if you are reusing the factory springs.
-
I'm really starting to like this exhaust system. Love the way it sounds on the youtube videos. Love the dual exit system as well. Are you installing yourself?

Just ordered my spring puller from Amazon, local stores didn't have one. Plan to install the new ZZP exhaust & header in a couple weeks when spring term is almost over!

Which spring puller did you buy.

That should work. Thankfully, I live less then ten minutes from Iron Pony so just popped over there and they had exactly what I needed. Still was a pain in the ass to do but would have been impossible to do it without.
TOTALLY worth the effort though. Off-road downpipe to bassani side exit exhaust completely transformed driving the SS, sounds like it looks now.

I told you!

If you remove the cat pipe and install on muffler while everything is on the bench it goes so much easier. No need for spring puller tool done this way.
And that exhaust is an easy install, IMHO.
Very much worth the price and seems to cut the heat from the passenger floor. Still warms the transmission tunnel

You still have springs that attach to the frame.

Yes, the one on the lower frame to muffler goes easy. No tension on it until the upper muffler to frame spring is attached.
I was able to move the complete assembly forward and used vise grips to easily attach the upper spring to the upper frame.I used a spring puller and tried to attach muffler to cat pipe while cat pipe was installed on manifold. It was impossible for me to accomplish that, so just put cat pipe and muffler together on the bench.
Sorry about that, I forgot about that last spring, it went so easy with vise grips.

Just barely start the bolts on the manifold and it gives you a little bit of flexibility to hook the springs.
