Default Anyone Have Stock Catback?

Does anyone here have a stock catback, or mellow aftermarket catback for an LT1 Formula?

My muffler has holes in it now, and I'd like to replace it on a tight budget. My state sometimes fails cars with noticebaly louder-than-stock exhaust, hence why I can't get anything too throaty.

Let me know if you have anything and are close to me.

Thanks a lot.

Thank you very much for your reply and your offer, JL.

Because I do not know how to weld yet, I'd prefer to find something that I can just bolt up in my driveway, no welding required. But, if I can't find something like that, I'll take advantage of your offer.

2000LS1TA, are LS1 catbacks quite similar to LT1 catbacks, size/length wise?

Would it be possible to use some stainless exhaust clamps to reconnect the cut pieces, if the cuts were not made too close to the muffler itself?

I just don't want to have t deal with the hassle of taking the car to a shop...I like to do as much as I can on my own. Guess I need to learn to weld asap, though.

Clamps will help certainly but the issue will be is the ability to seal, I say clamp it get it nice, take it to a muffler shop and they can finish off the welds.

I know JL personally, ive seen the cat back many times, a quality peice, his car had like 13k miles on it so its low milage send him a PM

you will have to weld mine, I cut it at the muffler when I took it off. The stock catback came off my car at 5400 miles fwiw.

If you have a friend with a welder, or access to one it would be easy to do. Just put the I pipe on, put the muffler on and line the 2 up, tack it, and then run a good bead all the way around. Easy.

Stock SS catback off my 2000 if you haven't found a system yet, it is cut though at the point where it starts to go up over the axle. I could weld it back but I would prob get a shop to mock it back up under the car then weld it.
