Post Need help w/ choosing exhaust system

I cant decide what exhaust to get for my 86 z28. I want something loud, legal, and a performance gainer. What do u guys think is the best all around?

Anything but flowmaster. It sounds good but it robs you of 2mph or so at the track. (I have flowmaster so I know what I am talking about) Other than that, JUST PICK ONE. This is not rocket science and you aren't gonna gain 20 hp by choosing one exhaust system over another. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME.

Thumbs up

Its all just personal prefrence I guess. I have a 3" exhaust on my car with the flowmaster 80 series and i love the sound. All I need now is a pair of edelbrock TES and im all set But i recomend flowmaster or dynomax, dynomax for the price gives out a nice sound. A buddy of mine has one on his 88 iroc so thats how i know. I like the sound borla gives but I think that they're way over priced, but other then that they're all priced around the same, good luck!

i have SLP headers, no cat, 3" piping into a flowmaster 40 series. i also have a cutout for the strip so im not worried about the whole "lose 2 mph" thing.. which i never heard of before.
