Default LT-4 Exhaust

I'm looking for a picture of the LT-4 exhaust system.. I've heard it differs from the Lt1's in that it has a crossover and I'm wondering where the crossover is..

No pic for you, but it is right behind the resonator. VERY short peice of pipe. Its easy to overlook.

Dont the pipes converge inside the resonator? or do they run parallel through it??? it seems a crossover that far back in the exhaust system is useless.. wouldnt it be more effective in front of the x-over?

I can't tell if the pipes merge within the resonator or not-I would guess not since Chevy added the crossover after them but I don't know.

You are probably right as this is what the Corsa RSC system does-crossover in front of the separate resonators-neither are probably as effective as a true balance pipe-but that isn't possible due to packaging situation...

RichS told me his 95 LT1 had a crossover pipe exactly the same as his 96 LT4. My 96 LT4 system has a crossover ~20" behind the resonator.

yes my 95 LT1 and 96GS LT4 exhaust looked the same. They both have the crossover tube.

I looked at the stock pipes from a 95-96 LT1 automatic the other day, and it didn't have the little crossover. I wonder if it was only included on 6-speed cars to help reduce resonance.
