Put megaphones at the end of the tailpipe.

IMO loud does not always mean it sounds good. You need compression and a big cam too. The SLP Loudmouth is the loudest exhaust that I know of that is a ready to bolt on deal.

Yeah,for great loudsound. What would be the best combination from theheaders on back?

Now that im looking around at exhaust... What is the design of a Z28s catback? Is it this?

Is there a chance for going true dual... with two mufflers? Have a pipe fabbed to go from each header (no crossor mid pipe)to a single in single out muffler on eachside? Rather than the catback above?

$th gens don't really have room for true duals. It has been done but it either never fits right or looks hack. A 3 inch y-pipe and 3 inch cat back can support 500+ hp.

I know a guy here in sweden with a 95 Z with Procharger, he had a 3" exhaust up to around 600hp but he had to get a 4" exhaust when he got more power, has around 850hp now in the same engine.
So a singel 3" goes a long way!

hmm...Well, if you don't care how the back of your car looks, get some Long tube headers and stick 2 cats on the collectors, and run duals and dump them before the axel, it'll be loud, er, really really loud. Frankly, I'd go with a good set of emissions legal long tubes(they're hard to find...Kooks worked well for me!) with a catted Y from the same company, and then you could get the SLP Loudmouth system and drop the resonator and weld in a piece of pipe, then you'd have straight pipes back. IMO it'd be way too loud...after starting my car with open headers I'm glad that I have an exhaust system that at least cuts out some of the sound.
