Random Tech. vs. Hooker cat-back???

I'm building a motor for the Iroc. I need a good 3" catback (not paying $500 for an aluminized 3.5" I'll just get a cutout) and was going to go with flowmaster but people say they don't flow as well as others, they just sound good. A lot of people seem to like the Hooker setup, but I don't really like the dual dual tips, so I'd change to single tips. Random Technology looks like it has a good setup, anyone us this at all? I assume the Hooker uses a 3" intermediate pipe right? I've heard the flowmaster setup, I do like the sound, but want the best performance for the dollar. Does anyone have sound clips of the Hooker or Random Tech. setups? The Hooker kit is $260 in Jeg's and after I get 2 tips like I want that's probably $40 more. MORE Performance has the Random Tech. kit for $315 so the prices are pretty close. Opinions/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

I just got the $200 Hooker and had it welded on. There is a soundclip of it on the exhaust board.

Ihad a flowmaster catback and now i have a hooker catback.I noticed that the hooker flows a little better than the flowmaster.Thr hooker cat back also has more of a growl to compared to the flowmaster
