DrEvil3264 Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 my buddies 93 camaro Z28 just got back from the shop, and he apperently has a hole in his exhaust. He was looking into getting an aftermarket, and would like something that eliminates the cat's. Whats a good exhaust setup for this car that has the best sound/performance at a reasonable price. Thanks for the replys guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVILGTP98 Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 I would check SLP, usually kind of pricey but I love my slp on the GTP. I am sure they got a setup for the LT1, I will check and see if I can find a website for ya slp.com maybe, not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEvil3264 Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 yeah we just checked out SLP, and i think hes getting the long tube headers and the catback exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 For best bolt-on flow, a set of long tubes, Mufflex Y-pipe (or the Mufflex pipe sold by QTP w/ built-in cutouts), and a Mufflex 4" back exhaust setup would be the best. Could do true duals as well, though it can be a PITA depending on what other mods you have. Mine is one of those PITA setups (SLP diamond subframe connectors + Spohn torque arm = not exhaust friendly). I just need to get my buddy over here to weld up my new setup. There is a place that sells true dual kits as well (dumps before the axle). Or can do a Hooker 3" pipe into a "pick your 3" catback" exhaust. I personally don't like the look of the Hooker and Magnaflow catbacks. I like the Corsa and Borla, but way too much money for a 3" catback.

BIG SHAFE Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 I love the SLP exhaust sound on mine, but for peformance all you really need is a pair of headers and cutouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin5s Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 stay away from SLP... they suck as far as LT1 and exhaust (I know... I've owned them..) the shorty header install is a nitemare as well as burns plug wires... go with a nice set of pace setter LT headers, OR-Y and a Borla exhaust...

Pace setters rock as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 +1 on the Pacesetters, they are identical to the hookers but have slip fittings. As much as I like pretty stuff, just get them uncoated, as nearly all coatings find a way to chip or flake on headers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 tube headers, then dump the pipes straight out before the wheels. mufflers are for wussies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trans_am_matt Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 I've got SLP loudmouth, Bullet mufflers, and no cats, with LT headers and people say it sounds mean as hell. It's an LS1 though so i'm sure an LT1 might sound a little different. -matt- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
