usually people upgrade they're exhaust systems to an aftermarket type such as flowmasters like i got and usually that does the trick to make it louder as well as add horses. i personaly want to purchase a chambered exhaust for mine. Its a little pricey but well worth it. maybe down the road upgrade to some headers as well which deepens the exhaust note a little. thanks for the comments fellas! l8r!

Lol this video was filmed by the previous owner before he sold it to me...I had to go all the way to dallas, TX to pick the damn thing up since you hardly see em around in my area....was it worth it? for 3k Hell yeah!

very fast!, top speed 145 0-60 in about 5 seconds, they come with a 5 speed manual transmission or a 4 speed automatic with overdrive, barely touch the pedal and it opens up and I had a Carbureted model, with tuned port injection, throttle response is a little crisper, fast car, love 'em...

Sounds great!

Which headers you got in it?

Is the sound different than before installation?

Now im only 17, call me dumb and insult me in which ever way you please, but I don't understand why people want to keep the car the exact same as when it came out of the factory. I think as long as you don't put 26' rims on it and make it look retarded as hell , you're good.

Forgot to mention the car has a true '87 corvette block which had a mechanical fuel pump meaning it was carb'd at one point but then a plate was installed to cover the fuel pump recess and is now TPi FI.

Hows it going...Im formerly rubenpendejo lol but since I havent logged on for a long while, my account was canceled. I actually found out I have an '87 corvette ported L98. As far as the cam, I don't really know much about it exactly other than its a comp cams cam who knows what model...The previous owner gave me the paper work to the cam but that didnt even tell much either about the cam.

@siuoloj Incorrect. T-top 3rdgens don't need sub-frame connectors, its a nice thing to have. The benefits are a stiffer frame, and with perimeter mount SFCs you get easy jacking points too. But by no means are they a must have or your frame will crack. SFCs will stiffen the frame, and allow the suspension to work better as they eliminate the 5th spring effect.

Unless you are launching on full slicks and a big boy stall, you don't need SFCs. They are good to the bottom 12s without SFCs.
