Hey

I'm debating replacing my stock exhaust on my '86 Z28 305 with a cat back system. i'm wondering if anyone out there has some info/ advice on different systems (flowmaster etc,) $ costs. I would love to keep the dual exhaust. I just would like to get a deeper sound, but not too obnoxious. Also, when putting in a cat back system should i replace the cat with a higher flow cat or leave the stock cat in...i would take it right out, but for emissions it's gotta stay.

Where you at, Mark? It's been a whole 10 minutes...

 

buy a $159 dynomax cat back then throw the muffler away and get a 80 seiries flowmaster muffler/ still cheaper than the flowmaster cat back thats what i did a while back.

 

Yeah? Where's Mark....something is wrong here.....this doesn't feel right.

 

It's been an HOUR, c'mon, Mark!!!


Hey Fast3rdGen, that's pretty clever, so do you happen to know how it sounds/performs in relation to the actual Flowmaster cat-back?

 

well the dynomax cat back had all aluminized pipe, mandrel bent (just as flowmaster's does) and it sounded nice and nasty like a flowmaster should. it also performed pretty well. i have not had an actual flowmaster cat-back to compare it to though. everyone around here usually just buys the mufflers seperate and takes it to the local exhaust shop to install. he can do mandrel bending, and has both stainless ans aluminized pipe, and he's extremely cheap so it is actually cheaper than buying the whole cat-back set-ups.

 

That's really a cool idea.


Hey, I just realized you're in Fairborn.

I'm from Huber Heights, work at SAIC in Beavercreek on Colonel Glenn Hwy (there now).

 

yeah i replied in a post the other day askin if you visit kilkare at all. soon as i am done with the odds and ins on my car we should meet up or something. are ya old enout where i could buy ya a beer and not get arrested? lmao.

 

oooh, yeah I'm a complete moron, lol. I thought that might've been you but oh well.

My grandfather and uncle races at Kilcare all the time with Corvette Troy. I've been up there a few times. I want to go and see what my car will run.

Yeah we oughta meet up some time. About the beer thing though, nope. I just turned 19 and look younger than that, hehe.

 

I just wanna see your car, sounds like one heck of a ride. Which I had something that nice to show off, but I don't (yet) .

 

Just get Flowmaster whatever you do.

 

yeah flowmaster!! DOWN WITH HOOKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

 

we still need to hook up sometime. although it'll have to be outside of Huber though. my car is not well liked over there cuz it's too loud for their cops lil eardrums i guess those forkin bastages pulled me over evertime i drove my car through there or they followed me till i was out of the city .

 

What?? Are you serious? Man I'm running practically open exhaust right now (no cat, big gaping hole right after where the cat should be ) and I haven't had one bit of trouble. 'Course I'm on a TPI 305 compared to your....yeah.... but still.

 

dude once you hear my car you'll know why cops follow me EVERYWHERE i go. no joke. they will bust a u'y in the middle of the road to turn around and follow me. they be parked in a parking lot talkin to another cop, look at me as i got by 5-10MPH UNDER the speed limit, and they'll both pull out to tail me so close i can't see their front end. man i would love to just jam it into first sometimes and smoke a ****in crown vic....but only being 22 abd having long hair i know i'd get it rammed to me really hard in the court lmao.

 

Check my post here.......

i DROPPED 2/10 switching from the dynomax muffler to the flowmaster 80series. and PICKED UP 2mph. ya never wanna say you gained time.....ya wanna drop your time and pick up your mph

 

Sorry guys, it takes 3hrs to get home from college.


Hooker sound clip in my sig, just had 2 guys today IM on aim saying man I love the Hooker.:hail:

 

You had us worried there for a minute. We thought something went terribly wrong.

 

You say it the way that you want, and I'll say it the way I want.

AJ

 

well excuse me

 

Id go with Magnaflow. It is a little louder then stock (and will get a little louder over time) and has a deep agressive tone. Trust me you wont be disapointed!

 

Perhaps

AJ

 

Oh, and you don't have dual exhaust. It's dual pipe outlets but single exhaust.

 

That's exactly what I did too on my 1991 Z28 (5.7 TPI L98)...and added a 3 inch exhaust cut out and hacked off both of the cats. So many people have asked me what exhaust I'm running and most of them think that it's one of the SLP loud mouths.....but I'm really happy with the sound!!:rockon:
