Straight Pipes or Flowmaster

Which will give me the best performance? I have straight pipes on my car, but they dont sound like true straight pipes. My brother, SaNdMaN787, has flowmasters on his '88 IROC and they sound absolutely fabulous. I'd like a good sound and good performance. Which is best?

Go with a flowmaster and get a nice sound to your car. Straight pipes don't sound too good IMO.

Unless your making serious power the difference isnt enough to really effect performance that much especially if you have a 305, it will just make your car sound horrible having strait pipes.
