Hi all,
I have a -99 Tahoe - made in Mexico for export to Europe. It has a 5.7 TBI engine and a 4L60E deep pan transmission. I am looking for a stock style replacement exhaust.
There seems to be 3 styles of exhaust on the GMT400 over the years (?):
1) Earliest version. Separate down pipe, slip on cat, slip on cat back
2) Later TBI version. One piece cat/down pipe, flanged cat back
3) Vortec version. Dual cats.
My truck has got the early version with the slip on cat.
I am looking to get a new full system, manifolds to tail pipe. The later TBI version with the one-piece downpipe/cat seems to be more readily available than the early version.
The question is if a "version 2" system would be a direct fit on my truck? I.e. will it fit the OE manifolds and hangers and clear everything?
Any insight would be much appreciated!
