I'm planning to add new headers to my '91 z28 along with a new exhaust system. What do u guys recommend me on buying. If u guys know on the brand, sizes and prices let me know. Also, what is a resonator, and should i get one? I'm keeping the 350 motor TPI automatic so would any of ur advices change due to this? If I also put a new suspension system on it what do u guys recommend along with the height that i should have the car at since the previous owner had it dropped a little? One more question, Could i put a true duel exhaust sysem on this car and what should be the height so that i wont be scrapping the bottom of the driveway everytime i drive to or back up? THANX FOR UR GUYS ADVICES AND RECOMMENDATIONS!!!

 

Before you start modding, get the bugs worked out. There's no sense in pouring mods into a car that isn't running right. If your car is overheating and it's not the radiator, make sure the headgasket isn't blown. Also change the thermostat.

As for the exhaust being rusted, you can get a very nice exhaust system for about $300. I purchased a Hooker 3" catback for about $290, I believe, but don't quote me on it, because it was quite a while ago. I can't remember the exact price. I will mention that the fitment was quite good, looks nice, and not only provided a noticeable gain, but an incredible tone to boot!

Since you say that your knowledge "sucks major Cs & Bs," I highly recommend picking up a Haynes manual, or even factory manuals, and thorougly reading them. It won't be the most exciting reading material, but you're bound to learn something. I believe that the first "mod" you need to make is to get familiar with your car, and a factory service manual will do just that. I'm not sure what the price is for a factory service manual, but I know they run well over $100. They might even be pushing the $300 mark, but knowledge is priceless, especially if it comes to a car that you plan on owning for a while, and also fixing. The first time you do something semi-time consuming, the $300 that you would've spent on labor would've paid for itself.

Since you are modding, I also HIGHLY recommend a book called "How To Tune & Modify Your Camaro, 1982-1998," by Jason Scott. It is part of a series called "Motorbooks PowerTech Series." It is published by "MBI Publishing Company." The cover of the book is red, yellow, and blue, and has a beautiful red 3rd Gen on the cover. I found this book to be very easy to understand, being a "novice" myself. I will also make mention that it is an excellent read.
