I love the way my Hooker Aerochamber sounds & was a piece of cake to install.Get your hands on a sawzall for cutting the old exhaust right where it goes over the axle for easy removal of old exhaust system.

hmmmm, dont think that answered his question too well. i have the flowmaster force II catback (30 series muffler), and havent had any problems with it. it cost around $220 or $230 from summit. i would definitely choose it again. its exactly what i was looking for...great sound and performance, and not too loud. the 80 series would be louder though. the force II system i got is a single 3" with one tailpipe on the drivers side. im sure any performance-oriented catback will give you a similar performance gain as long as the y-pipe is made properly. my vote is for flowmaster.

you dont deserve to own a camaro unless you put a hooker on it. really, how can you go wrong with a hooker ;p

its so easy to install, and sounds amazing. my buddy has flowmaster on his 84 and i got a hooker on my 88 and my 305 sounds way better than his 350
:>

well if i HAD to pick one of them 2 Id say hooker. I had flows on my 355 and didn't care for the sound.

Why not get a interm. pipe made at a local shop. and buy a spintech muff. You gota love the deepness of a spintech.

I know my local shop only charges $100 for a cat back madrle (sp) bend pipe. and wil put a muff on if you bring one in or they will worder you what you want.

They wanted $375 to do me a x pipe and duals off my hooker LT's
but for that price I can oder up Dr.Gas x Pipe and OVAL tube and tuck it up nice myself.
