Exhaust

Purchased a 1990 Convertible a few months ago. Any advice on exhaust to put on to get good sound?

I just put on a Corvette Central y-pipe w balance tube, and LT-1 muffler eliminators on my 87 Vert. Very little drone and a deep sound only about $300

Regards,
Greg

Greg,

Thanks for the advice. I am a novice at this. Are the modifications that you did street legal? My car is not a classic yet and still subject to motor vehicle inspections.

"good" sound is a relative term. what sounds good to one person doesn't necessarily sound good to another. do you want ear-piercing loud, do you want a mellow, muscle-car sound, do you care about drone, and how much money do you want to spend? my son has (either corvette central or mid-america) replacement mufflers with dual functioning tips, and after a few miles, i think it has a good muscle car sound. that's on the low end of the cost scale. on the other hand, i have a corsa cat-back system on my 96. i like the looks, the sound, the quality, etc, but i did pay a bit extra. personally, i don't like "attention getting" loud. when you ask a question about exhaust around here, you'll most likely get several dozen different opinions.

as long as your cats/emissions stuff is intact, and with the exception of some local noise restrictions, most exhaust systems or mods are street legal.

Joe,

Thanks for the reply. All the different replies help. I think I am looking for muscle car sound. My dad put the cat back Flowmasters on his 87 and I think they have a good sound. I saw the Corsa cat back as well and they were a bit more expensive. I wanted to see what different people did to their cars to get an idea of what is out there.
