LT-1 manifolds are better than block huggers and (almost) bolt up to a stock y-pipe.

I just installed the drivers side today. I had to use a Dremel to oval the holes in the y-pipe flange a little bit. Everything else was a direct swap using my air injection tubes. If you're deleting the air injection, you can block the holes off.
