Well I wouldn't say they sound totally kick ***. I had a super turbo on my car and it wasn't loud at all. On the other hand that is with stock manifolds, cat, and a 2 1/2 in. intermediate pipe, not a 3 inch like I should have. I think you can get an ultra flow muffler with the catbacks now and they are suppposed to be louder. Flow wise, however, I think dynomax is one of the best systems.

That cat-back system is only 2.5", you need 3" for that 350, I would reccomend the hooker cat-back.

Hello, I have a dynomax cat back on my 91 350 GTA and it is 3 inch, it has the muffler with a 3 inch inlet and 2 2 1/2 outlets on the left side. It is really quiet at idle, too quiet but at full throttle it sounds killer, i think a little higher pitch than flowmasters. My buddy said from down the street it sound like an LS1 at full throttle. Im sure the car will be louder after i finish installing the headers , car is jacked up now for that. Will probably go to a single 3 inch cat now, pulled out the whole dual cat assembly out as a unit and put it into storage. Later, Dave

Hooker headers and Hooker headers. Sound clip in the sig, with my old mods before cam/intake, but I have Edelbrock headers.

Hey I just saw in GM High Tech Performance they put a 3 inch dynomax catback on a 305 TPI formula and picked up 2 tenths and i think 1.5 mph. Just thought I'd mention that.

Make sure to get the 3" Ultra Flow kit if you go with dynomax. Super turbo mufflers sound weak to me.

I would reccomend hooker hedman or slp if you want maximum flow. The dynomax only have 1.5" primaries compared to the others 1 5/8" or 1 3/4".
