A performance exhaust system is one of the first modifications many people make to a car, and there are a ton of systems to choose from. Companies like JBA, Doug’s, Holley, Hooker, Flowmaster, and the like offer easy, no-weld kits for most popular cars. In addition, many companies offer complete exhaust systems for heavily modified vehicles with engine swaps and aftermarket suspension kits that wouldn’t accommodate the stock exhaust routing. With many options to fit so many varieties, it can be easy to get the wrong parts. Here’s a guide to help navigate some of the options to make you a more informed customer.
This stainless steel system from Hooker Headers is for a 1968 Camaro. Keep in mind that these kits are built for a very specific application. If you change up parts, especially the rear suspension, then all bets are off, and you’ll most likely have to fabricate and change the routing. Starting with a kit for your car can at least get you on the right track, though.
