Dynomax catback

I was just wondering if anyone has heard anything good or bad about the Dynomax catback for thirdgens. Do you think I should get it? If someone does have it, maybe I could get some input? Thanks.

Yeah its a good system for the price. We have one on a 87 Z 28 and love it. For the price its the best bang for the buck. It is quiter than the flowmaster.

I have the Dynomax Super Turbo cat-back, and it worked and sounded great behind the 305. I replaced the muffler with something a lot less restrictive (Ultra-Flo welded race muffler). The Hooker cat-back also has a good reputation and sound, as well as the Dynomax Ultra-Flo cat-back. I believe Random Tech has a decent cat-back too.

I got and I love it. I wouldn't waste my money on anything else. Almost all the other companies charge WAY too much for the exact same type of system.

My thinking has always been 'why pay more for a fancy name when you don't have to?'

I got it cause it was the cheapest. I like it just fine, real easy to install, and sounds decent, kinda quiet though, I'd like a little more noise!

Thanks a lot guys. I'll be ordering the dynomax catback as soon as I'm done spending my money at the spring swap-meet at Englishtown.

I have a dynomax system on my Blazer and one on my son's Camaro. Both have gutted cat's and the system is still quiet especially when compared to the Flowmaster on my Iroc. My only criticism is that the pipes on the Blazer only lasted 3 years. I got a new muffler under warranty but not the pipes.
