Straight Pipes

[whitewizard]

I have an 87 iroc -z with a modified 350 with a TPI setup. The previous owner added a 3 in. Flowmaster setup with an 80 series muffler (still has stock manifolds and Y pipe). I'm in the process of removing the cat as it has started to breack apart (was previously gutted) and is now causing a slight miss in the engine. Since i already have 3 in. pipe running over the rearend i was wondering if i could just remove the muffler and run a 3 in. pipe to a chrome tip and call it done. I've heard this not only gives a much better sound but also increases power.

You'd be better off getting some aftermarket headers.

Straight pipes will also get you unwanted attention from the police, piss off your neighbors and make it so loud in the car you can't hear yourelf think.
