I've just purchased an 87 Iroc-z and I was wondering if I could get some tips on what a good exhaust system is to run on this car...

 

Welcome aboard,

You can't go wrong with either Hooker or Flowmaster. I like the Hooker more, sound clip of it is in my signature.

What motor do you have in it? just wonderin.

oh yeah, be sure to get some headers too, that will help the exhaust flow and sound enormously.

 

3 inch custom piping no muffler.

 

Hooker flows well, is cheap and sounds great. I would suggest them, but some people prefer flowmaster, but they're a bit more exspensive. Either of those would be a good choice though, it just depends on your personal preference.

 

I really like my hooker and so do all of my friends. Its not too loud but when you get on it, it sounds really sweet.

 

Flowmaster.

 

Hooker out flows Flowmaster

 

Alright, thanks for the responses, I did like the sound of that Hooker system. Also if anyone knows of some low cost (below $600) performance upgrades feel free to let me know of them.

 

Oh yeah it has the 305 TPI

 

For 600$ you can get some high quality headers to complete that exhaust. You can get some uncoated SLP headers, pretty much the best you can buy, but they are way overpriced. But if you got 600$ to burn you can afford them. Or you could get the hooker headers to match the hooker catback. Last I checked the hooker super comp shorties coated direct from JET-HOT are like 480$.

 

Well, if you can find a sbc 400 engine for $600...

 

Hooker All the way Man! Sounds Awesome

 

You can get heddman shorties with a y pipe and a high flow cat for like $300.

 

the banks cat back..All stainless and about the same price as the hooker!..Plus the sound it produces is awesome

 

Hey I'm planning on getting a 1986 iroc z what's a good exhaust system for a more muscle sound?

 

You should update your profile to show more info. It would be useful for those helping you.

Regarding the exhaust, I don't know where in NH you live, but in Mass, I'm about 20 min. from a very popular exhaust shop in Kingston. It's called 'Lou's. http://www.louscustomexhaust.com/locations.html

Right near Lou's, in Plaistow, is another popular custom place: 'Skips'. He has a background in pro drags and usually has a few of those on premises. Here's directions: http://relistr.com/mechanic/113360/S....New.Hampshire

My car came with a Dynomax system that flows and sounds good to me.

 

Check out these:

1 3/4" primary 2 1/2 collector Y-pipe is @ 1/2" in 3" out.

 

Put a muffler on it man.LOL

 

If I had a dollar for every time I have seen a post like this on every forum frequent, I would be a rich man. Using the search function helps a lot. Lots of sound clips are also available as a resource in one of the stickys I believe.

Whats your set-up? Engine? Budget? Preference? Legal or not legal? ect...There are a ton of different ways you can go.

I personally have a heavy cammed 355 9.58:1 CR, hooker comps to a custom 4" straight through exhaust out the rear. It sounds bad *** but very loud.

Hooker makes nice affordable headers. A set of hookers to a hooker Y to a custom mandrel bent 3" exhaust to a 3" single in/single out muffler out back is what I would do.

GMMG system also sounds pretty nice
