you'd have to chop up your rear exhaust and weld it up to that point.. the exhaust does follow that path ive seen after spendin a few hours under the car this weekend... i dont think it would be made for a bolt in application, that would be a crazy y-pipe if it did

and steve was right.. the mount fits good, but you cant use the stock tranny mount from the ls1 as the bolt was too big and you have to have the stud thing welded in the top mount where as the lt1 has a bolt as its pretty tight in that area.. shoulda stayed stock

you can cut a slot where the bolt hole is for the tranny mount. this allows you to slide the tranny crossmember in place, instead of having to fight the stud.
