Default Lt1 Catbacks work on Ls1 Cars?
If I bought a cat-back off of a lt1 camaro would it work on my ls1? Or would I need to do some fabbing to get it to fit right?

If it's for a `95-97 Dual Cat LT1 then it should work fine because the Ypipes exit at the same point on both cars.

The only real issue you will have is that the hanger on the driver's side is different on LT1 cars. You will have to cut the intermediate pipe but that's cake.

I think I'm going to put a cut-out on it anyways so I guess thats not bad. How much do shops charge to put on cat backs? Or could I do it myself?
