Help Me Please!!

Can any one post a pic of the exhuast system in the rear end of the car? (Under the car if possible) Thankyou all.. Second question, can you really get a system that is alredy bent and ready to mount?

I don't have a picture, don't know why you would want one either but for the second question, what kind of "system". The answer is YES! but you have to be more specific. Do you want an entire system, including headers, or would you prefer cat. back? So many options, so many venders, just look. Check with the venders on this website. Call Hoooker, look in Summit, do a search on Google. Any of the above is a good place to start. But first decide what you want. Are you wanting more power? Better sound? A combination of the two?

little old terminator with stock pipes

Here's mine...hedman headers and y-pipe, straight pipe instead of cat, 2.5" single pipe (stock) back to the terminator and stock 2.25" exit pipes....



Nevermind the missing rear end...

umm ill get a pic of a car.. i belive i have several...

but yea, there are tons of aftermarket exhaust systems that come prebent with mandrel bends and will outflow anything you got!! Hooker, flowmaster, edelbrock, slp, and several other companies make systems. I dont know why you would think no one makes a prebent system... things have been like that for about 35-40 years now...

-laser_350, thank you........



I know that they make them, Ive boughten one for a truck, it sucked nothing fit right. Thats why I was wondering how they worked on camaros. Dont worry Iam not so blind to not see all the options that summit has, being like 4 pages and all, front and back.

are you refering to the tpi/lt1/ls1 pages?
yea... they get 4 pages.. but there is all chevy throughout the book. Fitment is pretty good from what i understand and only if you do what i did(uni cat and cheapest hooker exhaust dont mix) then you might run into some problems. I cant speak for everyone, but i sugest that you get the right cat for your car and the right exhaust...

No I was actually refering to pages 54-57. If any one has a summit close by, look at page 55, what do you think of flow masters FLO-17152, under force II exhuast systems, 86-02 camaro/firebird. Then page 50, hooker headers, HOK-2210?? OR maybe some shorty universal headers.?

Go with a direct fit cat if you are going to run one, believe me, it is worth it. My walker exhaust is what was stock for a TPI/HO version of the car, and I couldn't believe it, but they were mandrel bent! Direct fit...nothing to fab. I had a shop weld my pipes in due to the fact that I couldn't get the car up high enough to install the exhaust pipe, and I wanted it welded instead of clamped. They offered to replace the cat with a straight pipe, so long as I didn't remember where I had it done if I ever got questioned on it.

I went with the hedman headers and y-pipe combo and didn't have a single problem with installing them. I VHT'd them and baked them as per instructions, and they came out great. Definately a must have power improvement. I only installed the Terminator because I'd had it lying around for years. I'm happy with the sound, though, it equals everything I've heard from Flowmaster, so I'm happy.

Cool man, well the good part is that I live in MN, here we dont have any emmission tests, so I dont need a cat, I think that I will do what you did, thats what my Grandpa said to do. He has a hoist, and a manderal bender, and a welder at his house shop (He races, thats why he has all of this), but I dont want to always depend on him to do everything that I want done, Yea know?? Thats why this post began. Thankyou for all your input, I really do appreciate it!!
