I'm sick of searching catback?

What is a good catback for around 300 to 350 dollars?? I want one that has a good tone to it not real loud but a little louder than stock i soon plan to get some as&m 1 3/4inch headers so what is the best for that amount of money.

I agree with Jcb890 on Hooker and Magnaflow since those are in the price range and neither are real loud but they have a nice deep tone.

Sounds like the Hooker is the one for you. I have it with the stock cat on my car. Before the headers, it was a good bit louder than stock, but you couldn't really notice a difference while cruising. But get down on it and it sounds like a completely different muffler, a race muffler almost. No drone, pulsates at every rpm, fitment was great, and was only $287 shipped to my door from Jegs. I got a few cans of black BBQ grill spray paint and painted it before I put it on so it wouldn't rust. Almost 6 months later, it still hasn't rusted.

I got the hooker for like 280 shipped (jegs has free shipping but there was a charge cuz of the size) It fits great, sounds great, and moves some of that torque up to the higher rpms where lt1's need it. It was pretty easy to install, We started at like 12:30, and finished by 6, with a food break in there somewhere. It all seems like pretty heavy duty stuff, real thick flanges

You could get an aluminized Random Tech for about $320. They sound great, but may not last forever.
