1978 Z-28 camaro restoration 350ci

I would like a set of headers, dual exhaust, with new catalytic converters

I want it to sound good and perform well

I am not an expert in what I need

Who sells the whole set

I am afraid of piecemealing it together and getting crap

Who's the expert here?

 

Flowtech Headers are pretty damn good, they can flatten the power and torque curve pretty good with out sacrificing either. Get the gaskets for it too (click the link on recomended parts)

This is the whole matched exhaust kit.

If you feel gutsy, I would recomend an X pipe to help give you a little bit more power.

Just be sure to match up the diameter. You will prolly want to get a tail pipe expander if you're going to use clamps. I recomend welding. If you are going to go with the X pipe, take your stock exhaust and then take a crayon to the exhaust. Start from the collector back and while the motor is running (and the exhaust is hot) drag the crayon and when it starts to melt, that's where the cross over should be.

 

what about catalytic converters in west virginia
It used to be if the gas gauge said unleaded fuel only, you didn't need catys

 

I am just putting Hooker Headers and flowmaster muffs on my 67. I am eliminating the cat. converter (don't tell). I just want it loud and fast! Good luck if you aare doing it yourself, on a scale of one to ten, it was an eleven!

Match the inlet and outlet sizes. Just install it after the collector and before the rest of the exhaust.

Use a reducer so it bolts to the header and then cut the exhaust to compensate for the cat. and then use the pipe expanding tool so you can insert the back half of the exhaust over the cat then clamp it or weld it.

THis is what I mean, I want to buy a set pre fit, headers to tail pipe that is pre bent to fit my car with catys IF I have to

Thank you.......how will it sound?

 

I like that set up!

 

It'll sound pretty ballsy but I'd go with a different set of mufflers. I'd go with a set of magnaflows or flowmasters to give it a real muscle car sound.
