My exhaust is not complete yet. Plan on the two headers going into one 3" cat and a 3" pipe out the back thru a magna flow muffler. The canister has three hoses. One for vacuum, hooked to nipple on air intake, one from tank to canister, and one from canister to engine. I t-eed into the line from the P/S valve cover that runs into the air intake.

 

Good luck.

I don't plan on running any of the emissions gear on my Z. EGR was already blocked off from the previous owner, no cats are required for me where I live so those won't be back on the car either.

Exhuast will most likely be 3" mandrel all the way back to a magnaflow muffler and an electric cutout before the muffler.

RWWISNEWSKI - I looked at the concept of a single 3" exhaust and finally abandoned it. The 3" only has 72% of the flow area of a pair of 2 1/2". I determined I'd need a 3 1/2" to not have increased back pressure and I realized that size pipe would give me significant ground clearance problems. LS1's are notoriously responsive to back pressure - they don't like it.

I ended up going with dual 2 1/2" to an x pipe just past the transmission and then routed the drivers side the normal Z route with the passenger side going straight back to the differential where I used a frame clearance section (round to oval to round) and then crossed it over to the stock outlet position on the drivers side and into a dynomax muffer that has dual 2 1/2" inlets and a single 3" outlet. You can see bits of it in my photo album.
