hey everyone i am very excited to own my first fbody. i will get right to the point. my car has an exhaust leak. I think its in the cat area. I would like to replace the whole exhaust system from the headers back. so i was wondering what setups you are running and sucessful with. i don't have a real preference on sound. i just want power? do they has cat delete pipes? I might go that route. I have yet to lift the car up but how does the setup go on this car. headers, ypipe, catpipe, exhaust? or is the ypipe and catpipe the same thing? thanks for any help!!! 350 5.7 engine z28 none iroc if that matters.

 

Mine used to have the headers, y pipes, then the cat, but i got rid of the y pipe and cat, and got longer heads and made my pipes come out to the sides before the rear tires. It's loud and has a real nice "*****" sound to it. Perfect mix of loudness and rumble.

 

yes, the y-pipe and cat are seperate. its a very simple setup. are you looking to replace the manifolds with headers, or do you just want a cat back? also, how much money do you have to spend?

 

yes i want headers, probably long tube. i am looking to spend about 1500 for the whole system.........headers back to the exhaust tips. is anyone running a setup they like? i just car about power gains not so much how loud it is. thanks.

 

Best bet would be Hooker Super Comp long tubes, then a mandrel bent 3" Y-pipe, and a 3" cat back system of you're choice with a 3" pipe to delete the cat.
