That was my goal…did yours line up without having to cut them? Glad it helped!

No they didn’t fit it was just like what you ran into but since I knew it was most likely gonna happen I had my saw ready with a diamond tip blade ready to go. Then I used manifold spreader to get it just right. I soaked the secondary air fitting for days with pb then they came right off. Then used some heat and a vice to make the bends for the passenger air fitting on top of the header

Sure is…it’s an 04

Yea man. I haven’t been off-road since that G80 short but so far so good. I have 243K on the truck and just replaced the front hub…while it was off I moved the CV joint around and didn’t feel any binding for what it’s worth, hoping to get into some real mud and muck this summer. I’ve used the truck a bunch towing my boat. Real test is off road though, and since getting the boat I’ve spent most of my time getting wet vs getting muddy.

Glad you could dig it. I sold mine and bought a boat….having fun but still haven’t ridden boat as much as I thought I would. Enjoy that ‘Vette…they’re super easy to work on once you get into it. Lots of videos on common problems

The 2008 axles are longer…and the whole reason there’s a discussion is because the 2004 axles require a 2” spacer once you add the lift…the extended travel axles I think provides about an inch…read my description for details…I don’t recall specifics but it’s there in my write up.

Right!!

I believe so. Check Napa or Autozone. Look up CV axle the same year Tahoe and the same year Yukon, then compare part numbers. If they’re the same then yes…interchangeable. Then I would assume this swap would still work

Expand the description under the video…I listed all the specs and products

I can’t tell any difference but they look cool…in for a penny, in for a pound. If you have the cash and you have some savings put away then why not always go with the upgrade??

No binding that I’ve experienced…I’ve been 4wheeling only once in this set up. There weren’t any RH or LH axles for our trucks. There is however a popping noise when you turn all the way to the right or left when the extended axles bottom out against their stops but it works fine. It does seem to have a vibration at high speeds when in Auto 4wd…but I shouldn’t have had it on anyway without snow on the ground. But the trails treated me fine, I need to try a little harder trail.

@@fizzybillylah3816 awesome ok that clears things up. Nice to hear you take the truck out on the trails, get a vid!

@@Christian.jsf1 I did a little video short of the G80 kicking in…but yeah I need to do more.

The differential is not perfectly centered. This mean one axle has to be longer than the other. Common.

@@sorryociffer I don’t think there are separate part numbers but there definitely is one side that’s easier than the other!

It’s only going to work if you have a lift on the truck that came with spacers. Also, I’d recommend getting the Trakmotive axles from rockauto that extend!

@@fizzybillylah3816 ya i have 01 suburban with rc 6" lift same as you!! Ya i found them on rock auto for wa6 cheaper lol Thanks again!!!

@@mrburban556 cool, cool…I put all the details in the video description. Good luck!

@@mrburban556 how did it go?

@@fizzybillylah3816 it qorked perfectly for the driver side but i couldn't get it to go for the passenger side!!

I doubt you need new CV axles if you won’t be four wheeling with the truck. And, two inches!?! Naw, man you good. But even if you did break one it’s an easy repair. If money is tight, keep what you have. If not just swap in your truck’s year extended travel CV, it cost $130…and do the work yourself. It’s too easy a job to pay a shop! But don’t use different year axles like I did. I have a 6” lift, the higher you go the more the stock CV joint is pulled away from diff.

I did a 3" lift on my 06 yukon and no need for different axles min wirks perfectly!! Only 6" lift and higher!!

And if it did I have that fella build me one too!!

I have an 04 Yukon. Bring your Civic and let's go play.

Sorry Greg…I bought a $400 set from eBay. At first I bought the $2K set from Stainless Works but it didn’t fit per my video…then I bought the eBay specials because I knew I would have to cut them up…I can’t remember the name, it was sooo long ago seemingly.

I just looked on eBay and saw that there is a set for $545 sold by Merchantsellers….those would likely be the equivalent of what I bought. I kept the AIR tube connections to maintain factory emissions.

Sorry took so long to reply…if you can separate the AIR tube from the stock manifold then you’re a better man than me! I couldn’t get it to budge and so took off the fuel rail and the connection to the back of the intake manifold (rail is easy, EGR not so much). Then I tried torching the AIR tube but that failed too…so I had to buy a new used one off eBay. I pulled AC box because my evaporator was broken. Any other questions just let me know

@@fizzybillylah3816 luckily i think I’ll be able to get away with removing it without removing the fuel rail it seems; once i pulled the plastic cover off the two bolts were easily exposed; all i need to do is remove the rubber hose portion and I’ll take the whole thing off. Thank god. Thanks again for the reply bro i appreciate it

I’m glad you can dig it. Good luck with your project….it’s tons of fun 🤩

@@fizzybillylah3816 I love it, ex cali car, 1 owner from new who brought it over to Australia himself, 45000 miles. Just some weather strips, amber lights, rhd headlights and brake lines and it was on the road. Keep on it, loving these videos

@@zakoreilly5722 thanks for the encouragement, I was hoping the videos would be helpful. The lighting is not ideal, nor is the editing but I think it gets the salient points across effectively….glad you agree! I still need to post the way it sounds afterwards. I’m hoping to do that before the end of the year. I was out of the country for 4 years right after I got the headers done and just returned in July. I had to pull the car out of storage complete our move and get kiddos back in school…been real busy, but ISA I’ll get it done.

@@fizzybillylah3816 well all I can say is, family first, car 2nd. Can't wait for the next vid. The last 3 years in the world have been chaos, should hope for some normality soon!

In 2016 I thought so…even with the intake manifold leaking oil, the water pump leaking coolant, the evaporator for A/C busted, and the paint and seats shot to crap. 6 years later and a little at the time she’s looking good! I couldn’t afford it all at once but piece by piece over years? Alhamdulillah, I was able to do it.

Welcome!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you!

Let me know how it goes!! I’m really interested to know if my misfortune was an anomaly.

@@fizzybillylah3816 Finished the job over the weekend. Ran into most of the same, clutch master rod went in the wrong side of pedal; rod c Clip was a nightmare to get on; and clutch slave was a nightmare to squeeze in between O2 sensor and shift lockout solenoid. I did take a different approach to bleeding that allowed to complete it in a couple of minutes. I bench bled slave like you did but I also filled master reservoir before I connected line to slave and lastly I pumped brake fluid through slave upwards. Once reservoir was filled I had instant pedal pressure.

@@PrimalurgesMiami what brand header did you go with? Did the holes line up with head? Did you keep the emissions tube (A.I.R tube)?

@@fizzybillylah3816 Never did headers, just clutch master & slave. Thought about doing headers in the past but fitment issues are apparently common and I have the one year LT4 so it might be even harder to find something that fits right.

@@PrimalurgesMiami oh, ok. Well cool. I’m glad you read the video description to know that my series has more than just headers. Is that how you knew the clutch work was there, or did you just happen to watch all of the videos and just came across it? Still, I’m stoked that my video helped. Later, and happy wrenching:).

Thanks for the comment George. I’m overseas right now and keep extending my time. I miss the car terribly and have no idea how it’s doing. My elderly parents find it difficult if not impossible to climb down into it to start it so over the last four years it’s probably been started a couple times each year and less than 50 miles have been put on it in that time. InchaAllah, I’ll be back in June of 2022 but God only knows what will happen between now and then. I had it painted and seats reupholstered in December 2019 in anticipation of returning in 2020 but COVID blew that up. But one sweet day, one sweet day ISA, I shall return!!

@@fizzybillylah3816 Safe journey and travels my friend... George

I’m glad to hear someone else was as flummoxed as I was trying to lift these things! Yes, when I first bought mine I had no clue and could see someone had already cracked the fiberglass floor pan by lifting with the jack under it. Glad the video helped a bit. I have turned into a pro lifting both sides simultaneously after all these years. It was awkward at first, now it’s pretty pedestrian.

Wow! Thanks Troy. I wished I’d had more light and talked less but I felt like for those of us actually doing any of this work…. I showed enough of the steps so that if you’re looking at yours my videos will make sense. There are a lot of different parts, each video description lists the work attempted in that particular video.

That’s so dope too hear!! I thought I was the only one!! Nobody has said their holes didn’t line up and the company said it was impossible...at least I’m not alone. Glad it worked out.

What about your AIR tube? Or did you get the headers that deleted your emissions system?

@@fizzybillylah3816 I just ended up modifying the existing tube with some hose clamps and some heater tubing. I didnt have much of a problem with that part.

I know…but the proverbial horse has left the barn:(

I’m firmly in the camp of “sufficient” these days. They’re still holding up and we’re only a few hundred dollars vs the $2K for stainless works. I bet Melrose cost a pretty penny too. Because the cars are getting so old I think we have to just go with Chinese parts for stuff much to my chagrin. I had to buy a chip because nobody tunes LT1’s from 1993 anymore...They can do a ‘94 but ‘93 and ‘92’s, no dice.

Let me know if it looks the same. It was so hard to learn where to put jack stands when I first got mine.... I figured other folks might have same problem.

And congrats on your new purchase!!!!

I honestly could have done a better job editing but I captured every single step it took to install these headers. If you watch all the videos you can see exactly what it took. With that being said, it wasn’t hard just time consuming due to the headers not lining up...two different sets...expensive and cheap. Other folks had same issue...Im still glad I did it though.

@@fizzybillylah3816 when you were done was the new headers worth it compared to stock?

MakoShark CNC Abso-freaking-lutely!!! With a doubt yes!! It would not have been worth it if I had of bought top of the line (expensive) headers, or if I had paid a shop to do it...assuming a shop would have taken the project on. I can’t say that the car got faster/more powerful but the driving experience has been great enhanced. It sounds faster and IMO sounds like what a Corvette should actually sound like. I added a 3.90 gear to the rear end over winter break while I was back in the States but didn’t get a chance to get into it (drive it hard) before I went back overseas. That’s why there have been no more videos or updates on the car since 2018.

Did you figure out what the problem was? I think Chevy must have changed the heads mid ways through production...how else could two different manufactures get something(exhaust locations) so basic and serious, wrong? At least I wasn't the only one...I wonder if shops that did this job for customers had the same problem and just didn't say anything??

Don’t give up!!!! It will pump up. Sit down beside the car and use your arm to push the pedal down...push repeatedly and rapidly...don’t count just pump. Once you can’t push it with your arm anymore then use your leg, then get a partner while you are under the car waiting to turn the bleed screw. Hopefully you know that you have to make sure the bleeder screw is screwed down right before you began the bleed process. I think it takes so long to pump up because the hose between MC and SC was emptied during the install process

I'd need to get a bench first, lol. One car garage with a deepfreezer and the other tools leaves no room for a workbench...InchaAllah...one day I'll buy/build myself a proper garage

JessicaTG2008 I look forward to seeing your project, record it if possible, I’d like to see how someone else does it. I can’t imagine doing it without removing that evaporator box but I know it’s possible. Be well...peace!

I heard they do work

Lol...no problems there thankfully, but it would have been cool to have somebody near that enjoyed working on cars but alas that was not in the cards for me. Certainly these are super fun cars to wrench and drive...you MUST join a Corvette club and do some Autocross...that was so fun. And ever since Roadkill did their show on the ‘Vette kart the C4 prices shot up, but are still relatively affordable for the weekend middle class racer. And actually really easy to work on once you remove inner fenders

Thanks!..I wish I could have used a light and better editing but alas...I did best I could with what I had. A purist can find the meat in the videos and toss out the bone:)

Glad you enjoyed it man. You’re right, I need to add the video of how it sounds after I finished. I’m overseas right now and inshallah will not be back stateside until mid 2020 at the earliest. The car is in storage right now....oh how I miss it!!! Thanks for taking the time to watch it all. I tried to document everything it took to get the job done so that if anyone else tried it they’d know what they were getting into. I totally think it was worth it though. I LOVE the sound!! Inshallah when I get back I’m going to do some videos on what to look for in buying a boat!! I paid $2500 for the ‘Vette and $1500 for the boat... I dig viable projects... Good luck with yours!

You can use square ports off an sbc 350

ALOYSIUS Cannon It was TOTALLY worth it!!!! I love the way it sounds!!!! I wish I had put some real catalytic converters on it though....the stench really gets into your clothes when it’s idling. But if you watch all the videos I did AND you don’t need your car as a daily driver then go for it! Maybe your LT1 has holes that line up perfectly, and even if it doesn’t I show you how to get around it.

Plus it was a lot of fun...if the holes don’t line up just get it cut
