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

Have a link of this MORE performance for us? is it the dual 3" outlets? Is it the stainless steel one? If it is, $315 is killer. Get it.

Actually you could get the $200 Hooker cat-back for the 83-85 Camaros I believe it is, that's what I did and had an exhaust shop weld it on.

It's the aluminized setup. Here's the link to the MORE Perf. page with the exhaust

I was planning on changing the tips on the Hooker setup if I got that (mentioned that originally) so I figured that'd be about $40, therefore making the prices close. I really just want to know who has experience with which setup?
