Hey,

I need a new exhaust on my 89 Formula V8 305 TBI to pass the local motor vehicle inspection. The thing is I'm not that well informed on what I need and what is best for my car. What I know is that I need the parts from the cat back (including the cat since it is rusted) I don't have the knowlege or the money at the moment to get new headers also. It is a stock system yet it's way ugly

Can anyone give me some advice on what to get and where to get it from? Since I am in Switzerland I should order everything I need at once since I don't want to be waiting 4 weeks on a missing screw or something

The only thing I can say is I would like a exhaust that you don't really see, kinda like back in 82. It doesn't have to be so loud that you can be heard a mile a way yet I would like to get a nice deep sound like you would expect from an American V8

As I said above, any help will be appriciated, bellow are some pics of my current exhaust.

 

i think summit and jegs will both ship to you. and are those glasspacks for tailpipes and a stock muffler? catbacks will come with all you need to install (all the bolts). do u have a sniff test or just a visual?

 

for your application (don't want it to be seen, but you still want a nice sound) i'd consider the flowmaster Force II catback, which is a single 3" catback with flowmaster muffler and a single hideway outlet instead of a dual outlets. the outlet pipe tucks up underneath to be almost completely unseen. it's a VERY nice system and is kinda mellow at idle, but screams when you get into it. jegs and summit (links above) both carry the system, and last i checked the system was right around $230US.

 

Would be nice to just have the visual test, but now they do a snifftest as well.

Ok, I'll look into the flowmaster later on today.

 

How quiet is your exhaust on that thing, and is that another muffler right behind the cat?

4 mufflers? that exhaust must way 600lbs.

 

Don't ask me what they did to that exhaust it goes from thick to thin and back again all the way out.

 

id reccomend the dyno-max cat back personally. dynomax sounds almost stock at idle, but has a mean growl at higher rpm's. The dyno max even made my friends supercharged 3.8 regal sound decent.
