A exhaust shop could probably fix something up..if it is too short..a welder and some piping is all you will need. If too long, a welder and a cutter are the tools you will need.

I took the SLP 2OTL exhaust off of my 94Z, chopped it in just the right spot with a sawzall, and bolted it up to my 98Z. No problems here. You may need an adapter or two from AutoZone (to make up for tubing size differences). Also the hangars were slightly different on the rear.
The single cat LT1 cars had an S at the front of the intermediate pipe. This got eliminated for the dual cat cars (some 95 and all 96+). I chopped off that bend and was able to use it no problem (with some creative clamp and hangar work, of course).

Yes it will...Any good exhaust shop can make it fit...I know this to be a fact because not too long ago a guy here locally bought my '95 single cat Hooker cat-back and put it on his dual cat '01 Z28...Now how they did it, I don't really know since I wasn't there, but they did get it on within an hour without any problems (just a little bit of cutting to the I-pipe I believe to make it fit correct). And the hangers had to be adjusted too I believe...
Good luck,
Mike
Good luck,

like said before, take it to a exhaust shop you know does good work, and they will make it fit. find out about the single or dual cats though, it might help them know what they are up against. i dont think you can do it yourself though
