most exhaust shops wont even attempt to do duals on our cars.. some say it is impossible..
if you do find one, they are *probably going to charge a shitload..

all you ever *need is one cutout.. not two..

if you are on a budget..

LTs into a Ypipe and then whatever muffler you want.. if your on a budget stay with the stock muffler and just open the cutout..

Quick question, What about unbolting my cat? Stock manifolds, stock ypipe to cat then I unbolted it. Did it to see the volume, car is parked and exhaust back on.

Friend did it with same year formula and drives daily with it, does this hurt his performance so I can rub it in his face?

Both are 94 lt1s.

It'll def take alotta gas from ya by your 02 sensors but if you get your car programed then you could have the back ones turned off which would keep balance. Also, if this is something you wanna do then buy the headers with electronic exhaust cutouts. Of course there more expensive but one toggle switch does alot and especially would help you decide what you like. Personal opinion, your still going be doing worst on gas mileage but as every car enthuiast knows, is that when your ready to put on headers and open that exhaust, you know what your asking for.
