For the price they are great, they fit decent with only minor modifications needed, if that. I wish I would have gotten Jet Hot Coated ones though, I had them on my z28 and they were great.

By THE SS you mean your sisters car, that your parents bought, that came with the LTs installed. Not sure where you get the "when I did the install" or "I did a little banging."

Regardless, my Pacesetters that I ACTUALLY INSTALLED fit fine, y-pipe banged a bit, but started rusting very fast (coated)

I plan on going stainless for this car.

That is the best I have ever heard it put.
