on the I pipe there is a bend in it. does the pipe get bolted on with the bend downward toward the ground? or does it go toward the passenger side of the car? if it goes downward, it kills about 1 in of clearance. which is it?

You are probably talking about the S bend. What year b&b catback did you get? The "S Pipe" is refered to as the pipe the connects the I pipe to the Cat (in the shape of an S). If you got a catback for the LT1 93-95, it should come with the S bend too, i think...

well, i'll try to take some pics tomorrow. i think i put it together right. the pipe i was talking about was the one right behind the cat. i currently have the bend so that it faces slightly downward. it was the way that the pipes fit best.

goes sideways, for all the exhausts built for v8s and v6s are meant to bend sideways because a downward bend is a terrible idea on such a low car already.
or at least on the 6 different f-bodys that i looked at had sideways bends.

I put mine so it was bent facing down, that way gave me the best clearance over the axel so it wouldn't touch, also kept it away from the driveshaft, ya it looks low but i haven't had any probs2000 Y87 Bird M5 with mods<p><a href=\"http://www.vzavenue.net/~ngeorg/\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.vzavenue.net/~ngeorg/</a>Comment

On mine if you were to look under the car from the rear facing forward, my bend is around the 7-8 o'clock position. I was wondering that myself when I was puttin it on. I just left it as is and not tighten the S-end and just finish up the rest to see how it aligns. And it seemed fine, so I left it and tightened it. The only prob right now are the loose rubber hangers. Need to replace with stiffer ones or get new hangers.1999 Pewter Camaro M5<br />Y87 Performance Package, Sport Appearance Package, Diamond Clears<br />Factory SS Hood, Free Ram Air Mod, Whisper Lid w/ K&N Air Filter<br />CarSound Cat 94009, B&B Tri-Flo w/ Quad Tips<br />BMR SFC, BMR STB, KVR Blank Rotors, Hawk HPS Pads<br />Black Painted Calipers w/ CAMARO Decal, 245/50 Dunlop SP Sport 5000<br />20% Rear 35% Side Tint, Red Reflective Inlays, Invincishield<br /><b>Young girls avert their eyes, weak men tremble, Ford dealers faint.</b>Comment

thanks a lot. appreciate all the feedback. i guess i'll leave it as is cause it was the best fitment. i have to do something about those rubber hangers too. oh well, all in good time.2000 pewter firebird<br />Short Throw Shifter, Whisper Lid, Whisper Ram Air, Holley Filter, B&B Triflo, LSD, BMR LCA, STB, PHR, and sway bars (32/21).<br />Power window conversionComment

put some dryer hose clamps around the hangers and tighten them down...makes the exhaust tight and won't sway left/right....home depot has them i think 2 1/2 inch diameters for 75 cents.
it's an old trick that works2000 Y87 Bird M5 with mods<p><a href=\"http://www.vzavenue.net/~ngeorg/\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.vzavenue.net/~ngeorg/</a>Comment
