What do you mean "single tail pipe"? Like only one exit out the rear? Or did you look under the car & only see the one pipe goin back over the axle?
I didn't think any V8 cars came with single exit exhaust is why I ask. I haven't seen one anyway. Now I do know there is a aftermarket 4" Mufflex exhaust system & it's a single 4" pipe out I believe.
When I hear or see single pipe I automatically think V6. You 100% sure it's a V8 car & not a V6 someone badged with Z28 emblems to sell easier over there? Just asking.
If I was you & it cost that much to get a exhaust shipped in, I'd have a local shop fab up a custom true dual set. It'll probably be a ton cheaper.

well i mean its like the V6 exhaust exactly like it and NO its not a V6 loool whenever i ask some1 this they go like its a badged V6....its the LS1 but some said only 1998 come with singles anyways yea the shipping cost like more than 300$ so it aint worth it ...i can get duals way cheaper as my frnd has his own workshop he offered me this but i thoght i ask u guys first as camaros are rare here so i dnt wanna mess it up.... do u have any ideas or diagrams to get it done?? thx i posted the pic

I've got duals on my 2000 SS, and I love the sound. There is a downside though, they hang MUCH lower under the car than the regular style exhaust. Because of that, it has a much higher tendancy to scrape/hit, especially if you lower the car.
yea i noticed duals are down a bit n yea its the same thing again i forgot abt the mufflers of duals....now am screwed lol shipping the full cat back is too much for me ive checked it i think ill try 2 fine a wrecked v8 camaro n take the cat back for sound effect only ill c wt ill do and update u with pics....thank u all for ur help 
mmmm well wt if i used aftermarket mufflers with the duals coz the mufflers i saw in some pics here its available here but not brand ones ...does it do the same job ?? or ?
Mufflers are mufflers, whether they're Borla, Corsa, Flowmaster, or your local muffler shop special. However, the name brands like Borla, Corsa, Magnaflow, etc. will give you better sound, better performance, better quality... You've gotta work with what you can though, so if all you can afford are some mufflers from the local shop, go for it. If you get the duals fabricated though, try to make the diameter 2.5" or 3" if you can get mufflers with large enough inlets. You don't want it to be too small and restrict flow like that muffler you have on there now is doing.
It's kind of tough to give advice in modding your exhaust when
normal aftermarket parts aren't available.
The simplest exhaust would be to run a 3" I-pipe off of your y-pipe
back over your rear axle. You would have to order a muffler, but
I would think it would be cheaper to ship then the entire cat-back.
You would then have to fabricate the outlet pipe.
You would pretty much be making your own cat-back & just ordering
the muffler for it.
If you decide on true duals you will likely need to order 2 mufflers &
either an X-pipe or an H-pipe to balance the exhaust flow. Creating
true duals will be much more difficult. There is very little clearance.
The exhaust will also be much louder. Just depends on what you want.
The best advice I can give you though is check out www.ls1sounds.com
& youtube to figure out exactly what you want. It won't be cheap so
you need to do it right the first time.
I've changed my exhaust twice & I'm considering doing it a third time.
Let us know what you decide.
