Just picked up a 92 Z28. 305 auto nice shape. I want to put a nice sounding exhaust on it. I want a nice tone not a blatty harley kinda exhaust. Any suggestions? Thanks Stumper

 

Congrats, last year of the 3rd gen, throttle body? TPI?

Get a set of headers, leave the old exhaust pipes and mufflers, IMO that will sound great and wont be like a harley lol, i have headers w/true dual exhaust and two cherry bombs lol the f***er is loud lol.

 

if you want something that has some tone to it under power but isnt all that loud, look into a "super turbo" muffler. thrust and dynomax both make one. its not as loud as a chambered muffler, and is smoother sounding than a glass pack or other fiberglass matted muffler. they arent that expensive either

 

TPI, I am no longr a performance driven guy, my overall experience with headers are if you want all there is they are a necessity other wise every car I owned that I did not race I found the under hood heat, the extra heat on all the wire components just a P.I.T.A. but you are right they sound great with the right mufflers. That's some project you have going on, how is it progressing? Looks like a great car to start with. Thanks for the info I am sure I will MANY more questions for you GEN 3 folks. Jim

 

Nothing beats the old fashioned muscle sound of a set of cherry bombs. As a bonus, they fit anywhere.

 

Hey Scott I am also putting together a 350 bored .040 with ported and polished heads in my other toy a jeep cj7 what intake are you using with the carburator?

 

Standard summit stage 1. Anything else (like high rise) just keeps the mixture a little cooler. I did quite a bit of research and the basic 'stage 1' intakes are sufficient for most all street motors. I went to vortec heads so I had to swap out my perfectly good intake....

You building on a budget? Ive still got my old Edelbrock intake sitting around.....

 

The mufflers that advance auto sells are cheap and sound good on these cars. I think they are turbo thrush. They have good flow, great bang for your buck.

 

cat back exhaust is the best for your buck flowmaster is number 1!

 

3" mandrel bend Catback will be the best choice for performance. You pick the MFG. and the sound you want. Also removing the Cat and loud do not equal performance.
