Even if they did fit it's kind of pointless to put them in an L03 car.

Because theyre long tubes. Way overkill. Long tubes make you emissions ILLEGAL (FEDERAL CRIME, regardless if your state enforces it), ruin your ground clearance, and force you to fab up a custom exhaust system. And unless those are 82-92 camaro SPECIFIC long tubes they wont fit anyway. They dont look like 82-92 long tubes to me, but they might be.

Get some shorties and use a stock style exhaust. The L03 wont see much more benefit from LTs than it will from a more street-friendly setup.

What ever you decide get a custom Y-pipe. The stock one merges at 90°. It causes excessive back pressure and it the worst part of the entire stock exhaust system IMO.

Just get headers that come with a y-pipe. There are no headers that work with the stock y-pipe so you wont even have to worry about that.

Are they THIRDGEN SPECIFIC?! If not, good luck. Also you will most likely have to make one even if they are thirdgen specific. All y-pipes are different for different headers. Rarely do they sell y-pipes separate from the headers. Especially if its a generic shorty header, they wont make a y-pipe specifically for our cars for generic headers.
