94 Z28 need help/advice please.
I have a 1994 A4 Z28 camaro daily driver only mods i have is a K&N, a fan switch, and a set of flowmasters but i dont know anything about the flows they came with the car. I am trying to find out how much i need to save up. and how i should do it to get the best result at the lowest price. I plan to get 4 things done:
LT headers & y-pipe: what kind should i get?
new exhaust: what kind should i upgrade to?
change posi: 3.73 gears what brand?
and i hear alot about a madz28 tune: what is it, how much, how to get it?
How much money am i lookin at spending (including fair instal labor price)

Lol. You can use this simple equation to help you decide...
Your Car + Amount willing (or able) to spend= Speed/RWHP.
Pacesetter LT's are cheaper but worth your $$$.
Exhaust is whatever you want to do with it, X pipe, H pipe, True duals, Stay around a 2 1/2 pipe.
3.73's Richmond makes a good gear, and Motive. (motive is a little cheaper last time I looked)
I used Ion at MADZ28. Good guy, know's what he is doing. Cost is about 125 for OBDi (1994-1995) then your $15 shipping charge. His information is on his web page madz28.com. He is about 25 dollars cheaper then PCMforless.com.
Price:
LT's arn't bad to install youself. Takes some time, but with the right tools (wrenches n ****) you can get it done no problem. 375-850 depending on your pipe choice
exhaust welded and installed should run about 200-300 bucks, supply you own mufflers, tips, cut out ect. (the exhaust shop will supply the 2 1/2 tube.) You can save $$$ here by getting your own tube (along with the performance stuff) and cut it/bend it/ or just run them strait out of the mufflers with clamps. (you can save $$ by eliminating the CAT's)
I wouldn't do your own gears, spend the 300-500 bucks here to save yourself the headache.
Madz28 125 plus 15 shipping, simply plug and play.
Hope that helps.

this is all about personal opinion
i went with coated pacesetter longtubes with off road y 550 and a magnaflow catback around 400
and you should be able to install with some tools some friends and a weekend to do it
