Performance parts to upgrade ride?

Hey I recently bought a 1988 Camaro Z28 350 V8 auto. Its kind of on the silent side engine wise, I was wondering what I could do to make it as loud as the law allows and as fast as it can be. Let me know the brand you like and why. Thanks guys,
-Nick

Congrats on the new car
For exhaust:
0n my '91- edlebrock headers and catback- nice fit, emissions legal if needed, nice street set up- mellow sound at idle more growl higher rpm's
0n my '86-hooker supercomp Lt w/ spintech mufflers- very tight fit, no emissions, very throaty sound, more power

As for other power mods, the sky is the limit. Just give us some direction with budget, etc

Stay away from "off the shelf" performance computer chips, "underdrive" pulleys , "drop in" K&N Air Filters, throttle body "air foils" and performance mass air flow sensors...They do NOTHING for performance.

Just stick an electric cut out at the end of the y pipe. Perfectly legal when it's closed, and plenty loud when it's open.

how do you figure a K&N does nothing?
