performance exhaust
Im looking to make my 1986 iroz z28, 4bbl loud, not blatantly getting a ticket loud but if I want to step on the gas and make it mean I want to be able to. How hard would it be to install an aftermarket exhaust. What kind would you guys reccomend. Im looking to spend 300 or less.

Re: performance exhast
Short of just removing the muffler, it's going to be hard to make your car anything that I'd consider loud with the stock "y-pipe" and cat still in place... all you'll be able to get is a catback for $300. Gut the cat and get a flowmaster american thunder catback... that'd probably be fairly loud. I don't condone gutting the cat, but it's one of the things in your way when trying to make a car louder... and adding an aftermarket cat to the mix just blows apart your budget.

With the stock manifolds and cat, you shouldn't wake the neighbors if you just run a sraight pipe instead of a muffler. It is quiet enough to keep from getting pulled over too.

Re: performance exhaust
well if your on a budget and want some performance then get yourself some pace setter headers 1 5/8 primes and a decent y pipe. i think some pace setter headers come with em, and a decent cat back should all fall in your budget. my headers alone cost over 400 but i got some hookers.
