New exhaust. Which one to choose?
Hi there..
I just finished my Engine and transmission project on my 87 Camaro.
It is a 305 TPI engine that have a couple of modifications.
I also rebuilt my transmission so it could tolerate a little bit more HP.
Anyway. I need new exhaust system. My old system is 2,5" and my new Catco 9118 is 3" so I want an 3" system anyway.
I have installed Hooker 2055HKR headers with the Catco 9118 on it.
I now have installed the "homemade" 2,5" catback system on it without a muffler and the sound is good but I don't like the look of it.
And it is leaking where the connection between the 2.5" pipe and the catalytic converter..
Any of you got a recommandation?.I want it LOUD. I just love the sound of a LOUD V8 engine. It doesn't matter if it is "legal" sound, just loud and aggressive.
Since I am from Norway we don't have to many american car exhaust shops here, but I got an good offer from a local store. They have the Magnaflow Exhaust system availible for my car.
Part nr. 16829.
Is that a good system to use??
Please help me out here..

Very nice sound James...Reallly nice sound of that exhaust system.
Was that system directly bolt on or did you do some modifications??

The car has edelbrock TES headers, no cats and single 3" pipe to the catback. I bought the catback on ebay for $90 new. It was supposed to be for a 4th gen I believe. One section of the intermediate pipe was reduced to 2.5" I just cut that off then had the muffler shop run a 3" pipe from the y-pipe to the exhaust.
