I just sold my LS1 Z28 and am looking at getting a LT1 Camaro/Firebird. I had planned together a true dual setup for my LS1, but I needed to sell it because I have mortgage payments now and I couldn't afford both at the time. But now I am able to get another f-body (by saving a little bit here and there), but being able to afford a low cost LT1. I have my exhaust setup that I had planned to do to the LS1, so I was wondering if it would fab up underneath the LT1 body. Here is what the setup is...

LT headers (don't have yet)
Magnaflow 3" high flow cats (#59929)
Flowmaster 3" D-port h-pipe (#15933)
Flowmaster 3" Delta Force 1 chamber mufflers (#9430109)
Turndowns

jmm98LS1 inspired me to go with this setup for my LS1. But now that I'm stuck with it in my closet and I'm looking at getting an LT1, I might as well see if it will work on the underbody of an LT1 and put the parts to use. Any input is appreciated.

 

It is possible, i am running a single 40 series under mine, dumped before the rear axle... its up to you, it didnt bother me doing a bit of hammering to make it fit, but i dont know how you feel about smashing in the bottom of your car... Sounds great though! Ground clearance is definately an issue if you dont do the pounding

 

Thanks Lawson. Anyone else have any advise?

 

I'd highly recommend KOOKS headers for your car, fit nice, stainless and they'll work with the good parts you already have. Personally I like the Dynomax xipe & Dynomax race bullit style mufflers just because they look clean and tuck away nice around the tunnel Vs. a boxed style muffler.

 

I did TD's on mine and it's pretty low but I didn't have to smash the car. I am using Hooker LT's and Moroso spiral flow mufflers (similar to Dynomax Bullet).

 

same here, no smashing at all and we managed to run them through the BMR TrakPak.

 

Yeah I had a BMR torque relocation crossmember for A4 and an add-on BMR safety loop to work around. Also Denny's Nitrous Ready shaft and BMR torque arm. Worked out ok. Shop just kinda bent around it.

 

Got any pics?

 

Thanks guys. When I get my LT1, I think I'm gonna go ahead and try and get it to work. I just wanted to see what everyone thought about the setup and if it would fit before I even tried.

 

yea show us some pics please

 

I can get some, should have when she was in the air but left my camera.

 

i just got my duals done last friday,the only reason it took so long is due to the rear mount turbo set up i was planning but i ditched the idea.
i had 2.5" X-pipe,single chamber (race)flowmasters.i thought it would be loud but it has a very nice tone to it,at WOT it sings


sort of hard to see with my cell cam,of course i got some crap from the"you must use mandrel pipe for max performance crew" PFFFFTTT!! the set up works nicely,sounds great and no clearence issues

 

Ive been waiting to hear what 2 single chamber flows sounds like before I buy...Ive got a single 3in 40 series now. Set up looks good and clean undert the car.

Any sound clips?

 

no sound clips,sorry.i can assure you of this you will like the sound.it is kind at idle,aggressive under a load.it sort of sounds like a FOX mustang with the same exhaust,it will sound better when i get my new longtubes on there!

 

ya know, i have been getting the remarks that i too sound like a ford... wtf?

 

thats not a real bad thing,atleast we do not run like them!

 

just something about pipes under the axle makes me go
