I have those headers as well and had the Texas Speed off road Y on it for a while before switching to the true duals. I can't say what others may work only that I was told the Groty's fit about like Pacesetters so can use those as a gauge.

QTP basically copied the original Grot LT design......so whatever fits their LT's will fit your old Grots. I also have the originally designed Grots from Roger Grotyohan.

I had the O.G. Grotts on my 98 SS, and the SLP Y-pipe (that comes with their longtubes) fit almost perfectly.

At this point, you probably never will again. Grotts were the original Longtube headers that came out back in 99'ish for the LS1's.
