Not worth the time or the money. Go for headers and new Y pipe and a good 3in. cat back system. That's good for 500+ hp.

They do make the LM for the LT1's, but if you're planning on going with headers in the future you're looking at a loud car(although I really have no room to talk on that one). I personally don't like the LM sound all that much, but to each his own.

first of all i dont think you can run true duals on 3rd gen and up camaros since its unibody. unless you run side pipes.
second y put true dual on a 3.8l ??? sounds like a waste of $. just get a split exhaust if you want 2 pipes.
third ive got flowmasters on mine with no cat on a stock engine and its sounds awesome. its just hard to keep it quiet with the police roll by me.
the 15s are even harder to keep quiet. lol

an LT1 is not a 3.8L it is a 5.7

Flows or even worse, a LM system, are not going to compilment your engine's sound. all they are going to do is make a bunch of noise and get cops to notice you. when you choose an exhaust, you should choose one that makes power and doesn't just drown out the engine. let the engines power dictate how the car sounds, not th eother way around.
as I've recently said in another thread, if you are going to do that, you may as well buy an import and just puta frat can on the end of your exhaust

I would also like to note that the third gens didn't come with an LT1, so it has to be a '93-'97.
