how much would it cost for a cheap complete exhuast system?

so
headers?
y-pipe?
exhuast?

dont need cat. i dont want one.

thanks

 

If you're looking for cheap you'll never like the price of all that. For one, I think there is only one set of headers made for a V6 engine in a thirdgen.

Second, you may not want a cat, but its required by federal law on a street-driven car in all 50 states. So you have to have one.

Call up a few local muffler shops and ask them. You can also search online at places like http://www.jegs.com/ and http://www.summitracing.com/ to see what's available.

 

sorry i went a system for a 350 V8 in a 1983 z28

i might need a cat. but i dont want one. lol

heres what i found from summit

Hooker shorty Competition Headers 160$
Hedman Y 103$
Dynomax Super Turbo Exhaust 188$

and im not sure how much for a cat delete pipe

so with that setup and no cat. tied to a 350ci how do you think it will sound?

 

very loud since that y-pipe won't match up to those headers.

 

what y pipe would work? or do i need a differnt header?

thanks.

 

you need to buy headers specificly for the 82-92 camaro/firebird, with the matching y-pipe for the headers. you can't bolt a y-pipe up to headers it was not designed for. or take the car to an exhaust shop after you have the headers on and have them fabricate a y-pipe for you. my y-pipe cost me $200 mandrel bent installed. have you read the stickeys at the top of the exhaust board about headers? it will help you out alot.

 

so use the headmen shorty headers instead of the hooker headers?

 

Hedman 68470 shorties are probably the best quality/performance "budget" headers. Hedman also makes a matching Y-pipe for them.

 

You wont find cat delete pipes advertised anywhere as they're completely illegal. And it'll sound like a ticket to the cop behind you.

As said above, you have to buy headers and y-pipes from the same company, as they're a matched set and only work with each other. You cannot mix and match headers and y-pipes from different companies, nor to the stock stuff. Just remember, you get what you pay for. I dont think I'll be able to help you any further.
