Looking to purchase an exhaust system my '98 V6. Just need a little input.

 

flowmaster arnt made for best proformance. They are made to be cheap and effective. Borla and Corsa and by far the two best out. But its really all opinion anyway.

 

If you mind me asking, what exactly is the key to getting more performance out of upgrading an exhaust. I know its something about more air-flow but I'm not to sure I understand it completly.

 

Well. The entire exhaust system on a stock Camaro is fairly good. If you plan on making a V6 really badass then I would upgrade to 2.5 in diameter tubing. Anything after that is overkill for a V6 unless you're going to run twin turbos. The main purpose of wider tubing in an exhaust system as is you guessed it, better flow. Wider pipes will also bring a deeper tone to your car's sound. Look for a system with high flow cats, and so some research on mufflers. Headers on a V6 will make it sound like **** from what I'm told but will help in performance. Since I dont plan on making my V6 a monster, I just took the muffler off my system, ran some stainless steel tubing , bent it out 90 degrees, and added a nice tip. The stock cat on Camaros are highflow anyway.
