I promise I searched. If I missed a thread that answers my question please give me the link (then you can make fun of me
).
To start I have a 90 302 in MN. The stock exhaust manifold is cracked. A majority of the system including the Y pipe is very rusted (mn DOT loves to salt the roads in the winter). So something like summit shortys would also require a new Y pipe, etc.
I would like to replace the whole system with some thing on the cheap side, best bang for the buck is key here. Having read a bunch of threads on this I was thinking of a set of full length Hedman heads from Summit and a simple muffler system (someone said the one from JC Whitney for around $180 was good) and then have a muffler shop build the missing Y pipe from the headers.
Key points are no loss in performance (I would like a gain actually) and noise. I do not want this thing to be loud and I especially do not want any droning on the hwy.
Does this seem like a reasonable plan? Anyone in the twin cities have anything I could come and listen to?
Thanks,
Tim
