Default Difference in 96-97 and 98-02 catbacks?

I believe that the '96 and up catbacks all route the same way. I also believe that the hanger on the over axle pipe is the same. I know the hanger on the drivers side tailpipe is different, but should be easy to modify.

Are there any other differences?

I think the I-pipe is a little different too..

I think the 96-97 LT1 stuff is the same overall configuration, but the 93-95 LT1 stuff has a completely different I-pipe.

LT1 97-98 stuff lacks the driver's side hanger. Henry aka Mean runs a 97 LT1 Borla catback on an LS1.

Not sure what year the cat back was meant for but I got a LT1 Borla put on my 98 SS & had no issues at all. Ripley's here in Houston (1960) does great work.
