Opinions on TFX Cat-Back from Pacesetter?

My friend is looking at this system for his 82 Berlinetta. His car has an aftermarket 350 but still has the old LG4 intake and exhaust and he is looking to upgrade for more power. Does anyone have any opinion on this system verses the other cat-backs, i.e. Hooker, Flowmaster, Edlebrock? Thanks a lot!

I would steer clear of that setup. I personaly think the edelbrock kit is too plain. doesn't look cool and a real melow sound. I agree with the formula. I like stainless kits. steer clear of the borla though (I have one) not as nice of kit as slp or the random from what I have heard. If money is an object I would go with the hooker or flowmaster. they have the best sound from what I have heard.
