my stock exhaust has completely fallen out. i might as well do everything including the headers. i have an 85 k10 lwb with a 350. it was originally a 305, but the 350 looks stock from around the same period. is there any specific differences in motors that i need to look at before i get headers or are they all about the same. how can i tell exactly which 350 i have? also does anyone recommend any complete exhaust systems, headers and where to order from. i'm looking for a pretty free flowing exhaust, without the cross type after the cat. i'm thinking about putting a cat and dual mufflers, but i do not have emission testing in florida tho.
-
anyone? no one can recommend an exhaust system they were nothing but happy with?

i dont know of a full system to get, but getting you own headers and cats from summit or jegs, then hitting a local shop would work well. Also chris sells a nice system on here that i would of gotten if i didnt get new exhaust as a xmas gift.

I'm been thinking real hard about that setup for a couple of years now.... I'll very likely get that one when I get my headers.
-
I'll give you a little free advice. When you buy your headers, spend the extra dough and get a set of ceramic coated headers. You can get an exhaust system installed at a shop for around the same price as the kits I've looked at.
-
x2 about the headers and you can have a "too" free setup that you will notice a loss in power. what ever you get i would go with some sort of cross over to help it all run better
-
If its the same price between a shop and kit, get the kit. Shops dont usually mandrel bend the pipes.

I have Hooker Super Comps Headers, and Flowmasters on my 1984 C-10, like them both with good sound, turn downs in front of rear axle housing. I had a local speed shop repair shop install the exhaust system from the collectors of the headers. They bent and welded all the connections. I then took the truck home and removed the piping and painted the piping with Hi-Temp POR-15 Silver paint, excellant product.
-
Capts kit is a stainless X-pipe kit tho... I seriously doubt a shop will construct all that and use Stainless for that price. Around here it's like $500 starting price for plain true duals, 2.25" pipe, stainless.
-
And it is mandrel bent...
-
It is a great deal certainly if you dont have a quality shop to go to.
-
Anyone have Capts exhaust setup, or have a vid clip/pictures of it?

Sorry if this was meant for me I meant installed on a truck.

I haven't gotten anyone to send in pictures or a sound clip.
