LS1 catback on an LT1?
Did a little searching and couldnt find anything that was in-depth on this. Only posts saying it could be done.
What exactly has to be done to get a cat-back made for an LS1 to fit on a single-cat LT1 car?

it needs a "S" pipe The only company i know that makes a kit for that is SLP check out there web site for more info.
If you have LT headers and ORY pipe then it doesnt matter as im running a 98-02 hooker cat back on my car because of the bigger exhaust pipes & tips.

all you really need is that s pipe. slp sells it in a kit with hangers. the only thing is it costs like 70+. you could probably make one yourself or have an exhaust shop fab something up for you for a lot less coinage. that pipe is nothin more then a foot long bent tube. i had to get one to get my loudmouth2 to bolt up to my single-cat z28.

go to your local exhaust shop and get them to do it thats what i did saved me a lot of money cause i had a custom ORY made at the same time to hook up my LT's to the TSP Rumbler but im sure you could get them to do it cheaper than buying the s from slp then paying shipping

Good exhaust shop will take care of this for you. Im getting ready to put the dual dual on my LT1 from a 02 SS. Ive done it with my old LT1 cars in the past also. No big deal

i have the slp loudmouth (which i love) on my 96 lt1 i went to a local muffler shop thinking the kit i had ordered from slp to make it fit my car was in the box it wasnt and the shop made it fit pretty easily and turned out nice. i do have the kit though it came in a week later brand new in packaging i will sell it to you if you need it for 20 bucks it only costs like me like 35 dollars through slp. write me a message if your interested.
