Thought I remember there being a thread on installing 5 in turbo back exhaust on LMMs. I cannot find it anywhere... Can some one help me out?

Thanks

Can't find anything as a specific post with using the search tool but here is basics of it. Get any brand turboback kit like MBRP for instance which is what i have and start removing the stock exhaust from the rear to the front downpipe clamp band. First drop the spare tire to make it easier. Then remove stock exhaust. It will easier to remove the DOC if you remove the trnasmission bracket holding the stock exhaust. The start putting new exhaust in. Follow manufactories instructions. Have a few choices on MBRP like use a no muffler pipe that replaces the muffler from the kit. You can buy band clamps instead of using the kits ubolt clamps. I used the kit ubolt clamps without issue. I just drilled in a self tapper screw to keep the sections from rolling once all in place and set. Not sure how band clamps will hold position of sections over time. You will have a mounting bracket that will not work anywhere. Something about previous GMT-800 platform had that position for the bracket.

Now of course you disconnect the EGT probes and pressure differtial sensor tubing. Choices here are bag up real good or plugg devices back in and secure to frame with tie wraps. The pressure sensor can slip a tube over one connection to the other and small hose clamps.

Install a programmer like Quad, PPE 2 + Hot, Edge Evo unit, or EFILive. All done and ready to run.
