Default Long Tubes with Eibach Sportlines

K guys just bought a new LT1 car and thinking about modding it a little...
My previous LS1 had a Eibach pro kit and Pacesetter LT's and really no clearance problems.

My question is how much different are LT1 long tubes if any? Also I will most likely be running 2.5" True Duals with an X pipe.

Thanks in advance..

I sold my LS1 beacuse I bought a new house. I got a great deal on the LT1 so I bought it...$10,000 cheaper than my LS1 and i'm tired of being in debt..
