I picked up 2mph in the 1/4 with mine, though I can't tell you how much time, cause I added gears at the same time.

Most cat-backs should be good for 10-15 at most.

Hey Mark,
How is the interior resonance with the Hooker exhaust? I like the way it sounds at WOT, but wonder what it sounds like inside the car while just cruising.

You can't hear it at all when you're cruising, kind of bugs me, cause I like to be heard.

Around 60mph it's quiet cruising, but once you give it just a little bit of throttle you can hear it.

Not sure, never had the car with the stock setup. If you're cruising at 60 inside you don't hear anything, outside probably not much either. If I want to make more noise I'll just downshift to 3rd.
