I don't know about the y, but the catback should bolt right up.

When SLP first came out with the Loudmouth, it was only made for LS1 cars but it bolted right up to my '97 with no modification and no extra parts needed.

The y- pipe won't work without modification. The driver's side LS1 header angles towards the driver's rocker panel, where as the LT1 headers both point strait toward the rear of the car. The cat back however, as stated above, should work just fine.

don't buy LS1 headers! very different. The only thing that will work without modification is the Catback
