The loudmouth will fit your car with an install kit. They make two diferent installs kits for the lt1 4th gen. One for the 93 and one for the rest. The install kit will run you $30 and includes two exhaust hangers and a rubber isolator. Both hangers are to hold the pipes up after the axle. I ordered mine through ls1speed.com great service and got here fast. Mine was around $380 shipped for everything. (I have a 93 which requires the other install kit which runs for $70 anywhere else but ls1speed takes a hit on it and only charges $30, good place)

Re: slp loudmouth for 1997?
yea what he said. I ordered mine through SLP when I ordered the system. I think it was like $45.
When I installed my L/M I fit everything together in my garage loose before I tightened anything up and trimmed the tail pipes before I installed the slip on tips. If you do not trim the tips they will stick way past the bumper. Looks like Siht to me. Once, I had everything aligned evenly and made sure there was not going to be any contact points on suspension etc. I tightened the front slip on clamp and the clamp above the axle and I marked all the rest with sharpie marker and removed the marked items and went to Tuffy and had them weld the drivers side tail pipe and the two (dual dual) tips inplace. It turned out awesome. If you don't weld the tail pipe and the tips they will have to be clamped, once again looking like siht. Just my opinion. I hope this helps!
Good Luck.
