Default My first LS1

Hi to all my name is greg AKA Warmongoose I just got a 1998 Z28 and I hope I have as much fun as all you with it, I am 38 yo and finally got me a real car.

here is a picture the day before i got it.

It has flowmasters and K&N filter mod, I am new to all the terminalogy but i am a fast learner, I will be tacking it with me to Fort Hood TX in April when I go back home, Thanks to all for your support and by the way it only has 60K and it has only seen the AMSOIL Synth in it hope thats a good thing.

consensus here is that flowmaster sucks, so get rid of that! go with a midly priced 3inch catback, and get longtube headers and ORY without emissions. youre in good ole texas so emissions shouldnt be a worry!

Which flowmaster did you get? Is it the 3" in and dual outs, or the 3" in and the 3" out?

A dealer can sell it to you. or you can just take a risk and buy an aftermarket grill
