exhaust gains?

[Neale Flynn]

I have a 95 3.4l firebird convertible and i just got 3 inch exaust put on from behind the cat to the muffler which is now an 80 series flowmaster. So my question is how much power do you think I'll gain? thanks!

about 5HP, the major thing to gain is a high flow cat and headers, with all those you can gain about 10-15 crank HP with a 3.4

sorry, im a noob, but what are high flow cats and headers? if i buy an exhaust system will they come with it?

mother f......ok, nevermind, I'm in a good mood today, so I'm gonna be nice. What viper's talking about is a high-flow catalytic converter, and headers are a higher-flowing system of pipes used to replace your stock exhaust manifolds. They are bolted to the engine and carry exhaust gas directly from the engine down to the catalytic converter. And no, they don't come with the purchase of an exhaust system. You can find both of these on Ebay though.

And remember, the "search" button is your friend!

makes sense. the headers i found from slp are $799.00? How much power do they really add?

[chadder]

slp doesnt make headers for our cars. so you are looking at v8 headers, and if you want info on those, the hooker v8 headers flow better, but the SLP's are quieter. buddy of mine has a T/A WS6, and it runs 12.2s, im so jeleous, hes just turned 18
