Need a new exhaust for my heads/cam car, which one???
Well I just got my 236/242 heads/cam/long tubes swap done last week, and I do not like the way te flowmaster sounds. The system has a really really bad resonance at 2500 that sounds really tinny, and overall I am not happy with it.
My choices are--
Random Technology 3" in, dual 3" out with a flow through muffler $319
Hooker Catback-- 3" in, dual 2.5" out with crappy tips $260
ATR--- 3" in dual 3" out, stainless steel, and free flowing muffler $489
Magnaflow-- 3" in, dual 3.5 tips out, supposed to sound good $360
Or any others you feel may sound better without resonance. I am leaning towards the Random Technology as I ahve heard the guys at Speed Inc. have had good luck with them. I am going to order something monday or tuesday of this week, so I need some help quick. Oh, I also will be putting a cutout in the exhaust also.

For you, Hooker cat-back(it will sound wonderful with your set-up). FYI, the guys at Speed Inc also recommend the RT cat-back to me for my old 2000 Z28, which I ended up getting. And I HATED it! Best bet would be to hear it in person if possible before you make the change.

You know I'm in the same boat as you. Right now I'm doing heads and a 234/242 cam. I've also switching from a Flowmaster to a Random Technology catback. Its got to be one of the best flowing 3" cat-back out there, the muffler is a straight through design with no restriction at all. If any 3" cat-back makes more power, then it can't be by more than 2hp and at 315$ I don't know why more people have them. The only downside is its not stainless steel.

Well I ended up getting the hooker exhaust, and it should be here on thursday. I will hopefully get it installed on either sat or sunday when I get home from school. I hope it sounds as good as everyone says.
