Is this the stock Y2Y package exhaust? I recently purchased a '98 SS and saw the Y2Y option in the codes. However, given the car has 140k miles I am hoping for your expert eyes to let me know if you think this is still the stock exhaust..
Here's what I see: Headers each go to a pipe, the driver side pipe is "flattened" (not rounded) while the passenger side pipe has a cat on it. This Y's into one pipe that goes back to a muffler that runs parallel to the axle and out of it comes 2 pipes for the 4x tailpipes. Pics included.
Thanks in advance!

If you had an exhaust upgrade as part of your Y2Y options, then dual/dual would be it ('98-'02). And that certainly appears to be a stock dual/dual system in those pictures.
For '98, a non-Y2Y SS would have had a single in/single out catback. It was the only year for that system on a base SS.

My initial performance upgrades were going to be LT headers>catted Y pipe>catback. Obviously LT headers will still be a huge improvement, but what about a new catted Y? I assume the catback can stay as is?

Catback can definitely stay, there's nothing really as quiet that will flow as well. Also, it's mandatory to change your Y anyways when you do decide to get LT headers.

Great news thank you, it is bit quiet for me, but not going to throw money away. Now I need to snap some pics of springs/shocks/brakes I don't think they're stock
