After reading a lot on what long tubes work with the LS swaps I decided to give the Kooks for the TBSS a go! Ordered them on Saturday and had them at my door by Monday (today). I also ordered new GM MLS exhaust manifold gaskets as well as ARP header studs.

As many have had issues trying to install them with 4l80’s I ran into the same issue. The headers hit the trans ear. So I ended up just hacking off the amount needed to clear. I did have to file it after a bit to get a bit more clearance as it was really close and didn’t want them tapping.

Here they are installed. Really good clearance and no other modifications were needed.
