[@scottdurant7928]

Great video man I gotta do mine on my 99 tahoe here very soon

[@TerenceDIY]

Thank you SOOOO much for watching.

[@BULLETx24]

I believe in myself I can do this I also have a 99 Tahoe. Thanks for this!

[@TerenceDIY]

Yes, you absolutely can! Let me know how it turn out. Good luck.

[@kleenchevyrida]

I'm in the same boat ..bout to buy a set of shorty headers wondering if I can just do the install myself..this is a great video for self confidence though

[@whitegorillia117]

Exactly what I needed for my sierra, great video

[@TerenceDIY]

Thank you and thanks for watching.

That engine knocking my g

[@FranciscoGonzalez-ro7ht]

Good fix, i have a 1999 with the 7.4 l. With a leaky flange , is this the same how to process?

[@TerenceDIY]

Although that 454 is a much larger engine, the process shouldn't be that far off. I had the same engine in a 1997 Chevy Silverado. Great engine.

[@kleenchevyrida]

Thank you for this video!! I gotta do same to mines..something about the passenger side going out seems common on these trucks..im going with flowtech shorty headers hoping for no surprises

[@TerenceDIY]

You're very welcome Thank YOU so much for watching.

The 3 bolts to connect the manifolds to the pipe that lead down to your cats..did the new manifolds come with those 3 bolts or did u go buy those at the store yourself?​@TerenceDIY

[@TerenceDIY]

The manifolds came with the studs /bolts. You can also find them in the help section at Autozone. Here is a link for the exact set. www.ebay.com/itm/285917277150?fits=Year%3A1999%7CModel%3ATahoe%7CMake%3AChevrolet&_skw=1999+Chevy+tahoe+exhaust+manifold&itmmeta=01JC4GJP49Y0V3Q4QJCD9AQP0R&hash=item4291ff6bde:g:eMMAAOSwJrxlg6P2&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAABAHoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKkpi4TTCpuYxNAEY%2BsI42J7fYkSEsInN9QfN4XDBOUHnL7VwhZ9x3L3ZIHxkxv9odIbVobnmvQE3hopVNjFgRBevrRB01b4CARPxCJSDoqj%2F7jxnBAu5BoSWy4GjtX36P1XPbJwUnD%2BVMJFWuz3hNmR9nt0jPaKpvOVOgXUTzZl5uCMY47BvzOhrWKQ4gg4wAxUCUquIr%2BcACu7oGoRyjuRLPKgv5DXUDyybIzhkB39h0Ku3rcX1%2FeH6eqT41u3I3--L9GoM%2ByAhdYx55Dx4wC3VaM2k1xBC7piwIqF6W9wXkGajyRZ2Fqovs7LESaCCFY%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMsuLKkOFk

Great video. I have a 99 Suburban and I need to do both cats and the manifolds (possibly). Thanks!

[@TerenceDIY]

Thank you and thanks for watching. Good luck with your fix!

[@freddie1003]

What size are the stock studs?

[@TerenceDIY]

They are 3/8-16. Thanks for watching.

[@bombillo26715]

I have a question how and what tool you use to tighten the pesky nut that is hiding by the 02 sensor? I have a slight exhaust leak on the passengers side and can't get to that nut with my extension the exhaust pipe is at an angle blocking the way.

[@TerenceDIY]

Did you use a swivel? That's how I was able to get to it.

[@bombillo26715]

@@TerenceDIY no did not use a swivel. Will give it another shot with a swivel. Thanks for the reply.

Good job bro 👍

Lol.

[@EataPeachMike]

Did u torque all the bolts to 17 ft lb?

[@TerenceDIY]

Yes. Although they recommended 11 ft. lbs. on first pass and 15 lbs after. I found throughout the years that 17 ft lbs was the perfect torque specs when using grade 8 bolts ONLY. Thanks for watching.

[@EataPeachMike]

@@TerenceDIY I'm using my original bolts

[@EataPeachMike]

​@@TerenceDIYwhat do u recommend for the original bolts?

[@TerenceDIY]

No really however, if you use them, torque them down 10 ft lbs first pass and 14 ft lbs on final. They have become fragile throughout the years.

[@user-pg7dg2sm6t]

I literally have to do the same thing with my 95 suburban but so nervous on braking the bolts plus she has 230k on it

[@TerenceDIY]

It's not as bad as it seems. Even if you break a bolt or two, it's fairly easy to remove them. Thanks for watching!

[@user-pg7dg2sm6t]

About how long did it take for you to do the whole job and where did you order your new exhaust manifold if you ordered it online any type of help would work

[@TerenceDIY]

It took me a couple hours max and that was because I was filming the job.

[@nedrakastor1134]

They did some pretty shitty welding!! Glad you didn't have them fix it!!

[@lui805]

why not just put headers there are lighter and i think have better air flow

[@TerenceDIY]

I like things stock just as it was when it was made. Thanks for watching.
