Default Header collector location question

I helped a buddy de-mod his LS1 Firehawk and the exhaust is pretty badass - it fit up to some AR headers... AR doesnt make LT1 fbody headers afaik... what other LT1 longtubes would exit in roughly in the same location as the AR's? I dont mind slight modifications but I want to avoid hacking up a perfectly good exhaust...

TIA

LS collectors have different spacing, you will need to modify the piping regardless

Any idea if they'll be too short, long, or just off to the side?

Default

the ls1 DS header/collector angles outward whereas the traditional lt1 collectors are parallel pointed towards the rear
