Well after spending three days reading through all the stuff on the forum about exhaust set up, there is still no clear picture about what the best way is to set up an exhaust.

There have been so many options and opinions out there it's hard to tell which one to go by. From straight throughs to true duals to single pipe systems, what to do has become pretty vague.

When I bought the car it was basically dead, I'm going to rebuild this into a nice ride, but still have alot of work to do. The original exhaust was gone when I bought the car.

Back ground:
86 N\A No emmissions installed here in FLorida we don't care about that stuff, i.e. removed airpump and ACV (blocked off) and all that stuff. Still no active 6ports, but I'm working on that.

With custom made header (which I want to keep) its collected about 3ft from the ports, There is this joke of a silencer after the header that I pulled off a (don't blast me to much, I am poor) 86 toyota camry. What a laugh while this thing changes the tone it doesn't do any thing for the noise. After that a 2" pipe goes back to a Y near the differential that goes to two mufflers that were on the car when I bought it. Each of these mufflers has two exit tips, they suck too, or blow however you want to look at it.

Now my goal for this thing is to get it as quite as possible with out losing to much power and without spending a million dollars on parts. I have all equipment to do this my self. I'd like to keep 2 mufflers, with a Y pipe some where. But where to put it?

There is no reason to go into detailed explainations about back-preasure, velocity, and things of this nature, as it has already been discussed at great length in other threads.

I just need to know what the best tubing size, pre-silencer(not RB to expensive), Catbacks(only if completely nescesary for noise reduction) and mufflers (any, willing to splurge for the best) to buy, for a quite, well prefoming system with a header.

Please tell me what you have. Does it work for you? What are reformance levels like? And of course what are the noise levels like?

Sorry for the long post I just wanted to be thorough.

right now I am using a 3" spintech as a pre-silencer then 2 1/2" pipe to a magnaflow. Sounds decent, at least better than the flowmaster did

 

Yea I've heard good things about spintech stuff. But with all the good things being said some also say that they are loud.

You're using one as a silencer? Isn't 2 1\2 a little big?

Magnaflow sound like the choice of most people.

Any one else?

 

FACT: Tuned Single > EVERY OTHER EXHAUST, PERIOD

Now... how to tune it... that's based on the car, port timing, mods, etc.

My Exhaust; RB Header (kit), Collected to 2½, silencer, 2½ catback, Corksport Muffler (w/ silencer)
