| Hey guys I have question for everyone. Will a cat back system for a Sedan fit a Wagon ? Are they the same wheel base and length ? I have the opportunity to buy a brand new Dynomax cat back for a good price but it's for a Sedan. Not sure if it will bolt right up to my Wagon or not. | |

| Get hold of "BigBlackBeast"as he just mounted a sedan aftermarket exhaust system on his wagon and he should know how to help you out with your questions. Jim Gordon |

| I can tell you for certain that everything after the mufflers is different. I'm believe that from the cat through the mufflers is the same, because the X-pipe is the same.
It's usually a custom job to get over the wagon axle. Clear Image sells a kit, but it's just a bunch of bends that you have to weld together. Walker sells a stock diameter replacement kit.

| Muscles............ The system will fit until you get to the fuel tank. I bolted my intermediate pipe and mufflers on and then went to a fabricator and had him cut and weld in mandrel bent pieces. VERY happy with the results. He charged me 2 hours labor and for the bends he had to buy. Cost $180. Not the best deal, but much better than the only tailpipes for our wagons. Clearer Image. They do not look very nice. MINECLEAR IMAGE - $205 plus shipping!!Tim | |

| Personally I think Clear Image took a huge short cut. I like the exit behind the wheels as well, but if you are going to do it, do it right. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/221119/1995-chevrolet-capriceI custom bender could do a lot better work than Clear Image. I chose to go to the rear bumper for sound and the possibility of doing resonators if needed. | |

| Thanks for the info and as far as being a GURU, It says LT1 GURU not wagon exhaust GURU I have plenty of knowledge on the LT1 itself because I've owned many of them. This is the first one I've owned that wasn't in an F-body though. I'm a F-body buy bye nature. | |

| As stated before, it is the same exhaust until the fuel tank, then it needs to be custom bent. Be careful about where you take it to be bent as not everyone can do it PROPERLY. I had a hack bend my pipes and after 2 different shops, it still isn't right (rattles against the body/frame) | |
