You should go through his entire build thread. There are multiple images of his exhaust set-up that you can save to share w/your engine guy. There's also a lot of additional info to be taken advantage of for anyone doing an LS swap.

TTT w/this info..... Do you recall the manufacturer? I met a guy @ our local cruise/burger/beer joint tonight w/a clean 79 LS swapped wagon. He was using a shut-off valve & I spoke to him about these but didn't have an image for him to look at. I got his number & told him I'd send him a pic but I bet he'd appreciate a pic, p/n, & manufacturer even more. I saved the image & p/n to my phone; just need the manufacturing source if you remember?
Well well well... it appears streetbu has earned his streetname.
I dub thee....

Go forth and represent.
It's a GM valve, bought it off Amazon. Part # 15-5533.

True.
I guess the question is how you reacted to being told the parts wouldn't work. Did you get mad and blame everyone but yourself for the purchase and for not telling you that it wouldn't work ahead of time?
Haha, no. Definitely my fault. I wanted them so I didn't bother paying attention to what I was reading, and that others had already figured out, then just bought them. Oh well.
I figured it would be better for people to see my mistake, and hopefully they won't make the same one themselves.

Wow, that looks great. I like the bars straight to the frame/rear crossmember. I struggled to not put them through the speaker area, but common sense overcame me - I can't get much of anyone to ride in the passenger seat, so who the hell is riding in the back seat? But I didn't do the delete so someone can still ride in the center between those two bars.
Did you put anything around the aluminum rings to keep them from rattling/rubbing on the bars and making noise?
