you're not going to notice any hp increas with a catback. i've heard good about the hooker. i used to have a dynomax i had peiced together myself. i got alot of compliments on it. on my new car i bought a Gale Banks Power Pack. it is the only stainless exhaust i could find for a reasonable price. i got it for $430 shipped from www.torqueandchrome.com
it is also available through rksport but by the time you figure in tax and shipping it cost more. as for sound, i think it sounds really nice. not alot different that my dynomax was but it is a little deeper. no performance gains occured, atleast nothing worth measuring. the difference in et's could have just been the weather and track prep, but i do highly recommend this exhaust, it seems to be of very high quality and has a warranty! atleast check it out! i believe i'm the only person on this board who has this system right now!
oh yes and install was simple after i cut out the old exhaust, but i have did 2 other exhaust jobs so that helps.

You could try the Edelbrock catback, it is nice and cheap. I have it on my 94 and it is deep and sounds pretty mean. Anyone that has heard my car could tell you that. It is not annoying like a Borla without plates

Cut Out for $30. It will sound the best and net you the most power. Maybe spend another $50 on some wicked exhaust tips to complete the look and sound. But save the other money for something else.
