New Full Exhaust So im working on my full exhaust for my 1998 Camaro Z28 and i figured i would make a thread and keep you guys updated.
Heres the plan in my head...hopefully it works out
Long tube headers into off road y pipe and a single cutout right after into all 3" into a muffler after axle
For the muffler i ended up getting the Flowmaster Super 44 (supposed to be Flowmasters most aggresive muffler) with a 3" inlet and 3" outlet. i was going to just clamp a turn down on it (tips arnt to big of a deal to me) but i thing im going to end up welding one on there
For the headers i got some Hooker longtubes 1 3/4 with a 3" collector. they are ceramic coated, i wanted stainless steel but with my budget and the fact that i wont be driving car in winter i think ceramic will be just fine!
Me holding them hahaha
i am just praying they install goes smooth. i will be getting them on with a lift in a shop instead of jacksatnds in my garage thank god haha
i should be getting the y pipe and cutout i ordered either tomorrow or tuesday and ill put up some pics

UPDATE
so i got the y pipe and cutout and the y pipe was wrong
they sent me a ball and flange y pipe but i have a slip fit collector so i have to send the y pipe back tomorrow and get the new y pipe im really hoping i can get it by the end of the week so i can get this exhuast all set but if anyone cares heres the cutout
its 3"
i might do electric down the road but for now this will work
heres the wrong y pipe they sent me its a hedmans y and the paint they did on its a joke...not that i would care cuz its under my car but just sayin

Yeah see how it sounds,if it was me I would cut that merge off ,a good merge means a lot on these cars,will help with sound,also since your running a ory and not cats it will really help with rasp,but I have never heard a set up like this in person

Man I would reconsider that flowmaster muffler...every car I have been in (including my 96 grand caravan) that had a flowmaster muffler has horrible drone. Just cruising down the road at low rpms gave me a headache after a while. They are also supposed to have the worst flowing mufflers, if it were me I'd go with a magnaflow or borla. But other than that good luck with your install man, I love the look of brand new shiny headers lol
