Which is the best exaust set up???
Exhaust question for an 86 trick flow heads, 355, ATI supercharged
intercooled - 8 psi.
Current exhaust: stock manifold, off road y pipe, cleaned out cat, rear
y pipe, and flow masters.
Has anyone done one of the following and if so what part numbers were
used and how much did it cost?
Option 1: hooker long tubes, hooker y pipe, high flow cat, rear y pipe,
and flow masters.
Option 2: hooker long tubes, hooker y pipe, electric exhaust cut out,
high flow cat, rear y pipe, and flow masters.
Option 3: hooker long tubes, 2 high flow cats, X pipe, straight exhaust
no mufflers.
Option 4: hooker long tubes, 2 electric exhaust cut outs, 2 high flow
cats, X pipe, 2 straight pipes back to mufflers.
Any guess as to hp and tq that would be picked up with options 1-4?
Thanks! :seeya

Re: Which is the best exaust set up??? (vettefast)
I picked up 20 rwhp by going:
Hooker LT's to
(2) dynatech bullet cats to-
40 series flowmasters
I previously had the headers going into a Y then to a high flow cat back to a Y to the same mufflers. Entirely different sound now too! Long tubes are $600 or so, bullet cats were like $160 each and flowmaster were around $80 each. Plus piping and labor.
