What are the main differences between the LT4 and LT5 cat backs.. I heard it is mainly with the head pipes, but what exactly is the difference?

are you talking aboput stk or aftermarket. i know for sure its just the headpipes on the flowmaster believe it the same on the band b . stk they may have used a differenjt resonator but not sure

I guess mainly just the head pipes.. if I bought a LT4 aftermarket exhaust for my Z 9 assume used) what will I need to do to make it work on my car?? ( Assume OEM cats and manifolds)

yyes i believe so . all the spring mounts and muffler mounts are the same. the big choice is 21/2 in or 3 in . also do you want the excedrin type or the quiet type .i have a 21/2 in on my blk car that traps 119-120 at the strip i dont know if there really is extra power in the 3 in or if you lose low end . i had mine custom built @ spin tech dr gas x pipe and their mufflers . maybe someone has actuall test results .i lost mine and cant remember , gettin old i guess
