i dont know, but arent the exahaust ports different from a tpi motor to an lt1? im pretty sure they are. i have the supercomps for an lt1 and ive been told they will fit. the car is not ready yet but in about a week ill be able to let you know. any way i got mine from jet hot also, very good i definitly reccomend them. the price is higher though. i think there about 600 now. thats one of the reasons jet hot started making their own headers for lt1s.

My exhaust fit just fine. I put it in at the same time as the motor. I just had a couple of friends help and we lowered the motor between the headers and it fit fine. If you are using an lt1 I belive the stock starter is small enough to fit fine. Also the exhaust ports line up fine with thirdgen exhaust. The ports and bolts were located in the same spot on the lt1. The ls1 however is a very different story. I do have duals on mine by the way.

I don't agree. I can also say, that it's rare to find the average built "true dual" set-up that can perform at the level of some of the better cat-back systems that are available.

Unless you equalize the pressure between both sides, a "true dual" set-up is not the way to go. Often times, even just running true duals doesn't do ANYTHING for you.

If it was really worth it...don't you think it'd be something that performance shops and aftermarket companies would produce? It's not really worth it, that's why they're not produced.

They do produce them, just not for our cars because there isnt much room under our cars. Also, I have an h pipe. I have seen some people make some decent gains by going from single 3 to dual 2.5. Also, I doubt that my duals would have any problem performing at the level of the catbacks out there. I only have one bend in each side and it is mandrel bent.
