Just installed a magnaflow cat back stainless steel on my 88 camaro IROC. My engine has been modified with Edelbrock 202 aluminum heads and headers (roller rocks and a few other things) but the sound is great.

Hi guys, awesome sticky, been reading it like mad. Here's my set-up...4-bolt 350 truck block sitting in my 84 z28, Hedman shorty's with 2.5" collector, and I need to hook up to stock. I know Hedman and other's make y-pipes, and I will buy one if need be, but a local has a Borla y-pipe made for 4th gen LT1's up for sale, and the price is too good to overlook if it will work for my application. Any light to shed on the subject? thanks guys, 84Z

Correct me if im wrong...but i do believe magnaflow makes a catback for the third gen birds and camaros. http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/d...rtnumber=16829

Like i said i could be wrong.

They do, I have one. It definitely tamed my cars sound, but still sounds excellent!

just wanted to say thanks to urbanhunter, this thread was very helpful. to put my 2 cents in, i went with the hooker aerochamber with no cats. i couldnt be happyer. as far as volume goes, dont try to sneak home at 3am with it, lets put it that way. it is one of the louder non glasspack setups ive heard, but its not screamin loud. its deep and toned, sounds excellent with the cam at idle. ZERO drone on the highway. i cant understand why hooker isnt a more popular choice for mufflers, id recommend it to anyone who wants the tone of the magnaflow and is willing to give up the stainless pipes for more noise

how good is the flow on the stainless works cr 2525? summit doesnt show it anymore and i may buy it from stainless's website... they have the 3 inch option.. another thing is since its single in n out. would it be better to mount it right after the cat and route it through the back into 2 pipes? or should i keep it single.. im also thinking about making it end b4/after the rear tires.. but idk how much it will interfere with my powerband.

I have Edelbrock 3 Inch RPM Cat Back, with 2.5 Outs, it sounds great, I have had it since 1996 on this car still looks great and the Tail pipes are real nice looking with the miter cuts, I also have there coated Headers with 2.5 Inch y Pipe I do not have a cat.

I am unsure why people don't care for this system it has given me no Problems.

Please help !

Let me start by saying I know very little about cars and have to have all my work done for me.

I own a 1984 TA with a rebuilt 327 engine w/ headers and a High flow cat.

can anyone recommed a complete cat back system ?

Flowmaster told me they have one for an 86 and up TA and that it would require modification.

I did see a dynomax turbo that was listed for a 8 cyl firebird.

I'm just looking for somthing that is an easy fit and no modifications if thats possible.

Like I said I have all my work done for me. One guy told me to have my cat removed and put in system and the other guy who actually put the motor in for me is telling me to just use a cat back.

I have an 86 iroc vin f. Lb9 motor and I'm having trouble finding a stock y pipe that will fit.. I believe I have the stock manifolds but the y pipe I removed was 2 1/2" in diameter. Was this the stock diameter for the y pipe?

did magnaflow stop making the 16829 cat back for third gen? last I looked it was available from Summit, but its been a while

I would recommend getting flowmaster. Instead of magna flow. Flowmaster has chambers. An acts like a vacuum. All exhaust pulls out easily magna flow has patting an will over heat. N pnce it heats up. Thats when noise gets more muzzled there both goo . I had slp loud mouth 1 an 2. An love the flow master .. thats my opinion. .. i also want to know has any body tried the flomaster. Hp2. I want to run true dual exhaust on my 91 3rd gen 1le 350 tpi. I herd. These are. Nice at crusing but have a nice roar when punched

Mac also has a very nice quality and great sounding 3" catback for these cars. Here's our 91 z28:


and a few other cars out there:

I absolutely love the tone of the MAC catback, I will be swapping it onto my iroc in the future

Oh cool! I love the tone too, sounds like no other.

Good post! I have the Magnaflow with edelbrock headers and custom dual cat y-pipe tying to 3" cat-back system with 2-1/2 outlets with 3-1/2 tailpipes. My '92 Z28 5.7 motor is stock.

Its quiet compared to the old force II Flowmaster system that rusted out after so many years. The muffler seems to be dead at cruzin speed compared to my previous Flowmaster. Not sure if I'll try to fit a Flowmaster 80 series in its replacement though.

should I try highflow cats or gutted cats?

I was looking through this thread trying to pick an exhaust for my Stock 88 RS Camaro, 305 TBI. The thread started 10 years ago.. Was wondering if anything new has come along.. I know in the first post, it suggested to always go 3". Was really wanting the Dynomax Super Turbo before reading this, but doesn't seem to be available. I'm looking for something a bit deeper tone than stock, but don't want it to be too loud or droning sound in the car while driving. What 3" systems would give a step above the stock sound?

BLACK Z

Honestly I don't know what is still out there for these car's, I really like my Edelbrock and would go that way again if I had to ( I know they are no longer made ) I also do Like Flowmaster but I would probably lean toward Borla if they still make a system. 3 In single to dual outlet is fine for your vehicle.

the MAC I have is exactly what you are looking for, it's a good bit deeper than stock and not loud on a TBI. I'm sure if you put headers on your car it would be louder than mine. But it's not a bad sound at all and mostly no drone inside the car cruising down the road.

Thanks.. I ended up getting the Magnaflow 16829 system.. Local place had it in stock.. After looking at the MAC, probably would have saved a few bucks even with shipping..

Magnaflow has the sound you were looking for too, so still not a bad choice

Trying to help get dad's 1989 GTA back together for him. We would like a decent cat back system. The car has the 5.7 with the factory dual-cats that are in great shape. Muffler back has been fairly easy to find. Tried finding a stock intermediate pipe with the band-clamp connection but cannot find one. Looks like everyone only offers the flange-type. Any suggestions? I guess we could take the old intermediate pipe to a muffler shop and have one made?
