Default 1972 LT1 questions

Hello everybody. Hope everybody is having a great Saturday. I installed some Doug’s ceramic coated headers on my LT1, the exhaust pipes are 2-1/2 which is correct. The mufflers that are on it are 2-1/2 in and 2 inch out. It has what appears to have the correct square crome exhaust tips out the back. Is this correct muffler for the LT1 car?? My second question is on the factory sway bars for LT1 model. My front has a 1 inch sway bar on it (gold color) I don’t think it’s original. The rear was definitely not factory correct. I want to get it to the correct configuration. Hoping some experts will chime in with some answers. Thanks in advance.

My LT-1 has a 3/4" front sway bar. It's a factory sway bar, but I'm not educated enough to be certain that it is 100% LT-1 correct..

Factory exhaust as 2" manifold to 2 1/2" pipes . I believe the 2" out to the chrome square bezels is correct.
