What's a good exhaust system for my 1992 Pontiac Firebird?

[Ben T]

I was wondering what kind of exhaust system to get for my Firebird 92. I am looking for the best one for the best price with the best performance for my model of Firebird. I would like it to be a dual exhaust I was looking at some of the flow master exhaust systems but all it said about them was what kind of series and not much about the performance. My car is just a regular Firebird and not a trans am so please don't think that it is just a 5.0L V8 engine with dual exhaust but still has a bit of fight in it but would like to add a bit more. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.
Alright well are there any brands or specific types you could recommend. I was also looking at Hypertech Performance Modules and Chips and was wondering if those would help out. I guess what I'm really asking is what should I start with buying to boost the performance of my car should I start out with new headers or what. Thanks.

I myself have a Firebird but its the 1994 Trans Am model. What I did with mine was put a K&N cold air intake on it first. That is ALWAYS where you want to start when you try to up the performance on a car (especially a beauty like yours). Then I put headers on second. The reason you want the intake on first is solely because if you put any other mods on first such as, headers, or exhaust, it will heat up the engine more than it needs to be. It is safer on your car. And I would suggest K&N for a Cold Air Intake, Headers I would suggest Kooks, and for Exhaust I would suggest Borla Catbacks. That is what I have and my car is dynoed at 372 rwhp. You will not get that much out of yours because you have the 3.1 Liter 305 while I have the 5.7 Liter 350 BUT it will still haul some serious @$$ and there is no doubt that you will have fun with it! Good luck with the car. And if you have any other questions about car stuff feel free to message me and ask. I am usually on here every day.
