Edelbrock cat back

Hi All

Let me start off by saying i tried the search But i could not find what i was looking for, I am looking at a " Edelbrock" cat back system for my car ....# 5672 Does any one have any experience with it?? I was just looking for someone who already has it installed and could let me know what it is like..... The car is a 92 GTA , I was looking for something a "bit" more aggressive all the way around and stumbled on to the edelbrock site.....Ideas??
Thank you , later GTA............

had edelbrock headers and cat back on my 86. never had the cat back on without the headers, but i can tell you its a lot louder than my 90. had a lot of interior resonance, but a great WOT sound.

the sound clips sound on the edelbrock site sound great, I do not have hedders so this should keep things a lot quieter........GTA

At first I wasn't interested in any Edelbrock stuff, because of the bad stories I've heard, but i agree, their cat-back does sound good! I almost like it better than the SLP! Does anyone have pics, and more comments on it. How much does it run?

Does anyone have pics? I like the look of the Hooker system, but I like the sound of the Edelbrock. Do you think that I could get the Hooker cat-back, and buy an Edelbrock muffler and have the best of both worlds??

Edelbrock System on my car. Its was loud as hell with just headers and catback, and now with heads and cam it screams. But at highway speeds its nice and quiet.

Does anyone have pics? I hear it exits like the stock system.....and I want dual/dual tips...Like the Hooker. I also don't really see how to put tips horizontal, with the stock type turndowns. Could someone fill me in?

Damn...I was hopin' it had some good lookin' tips. I guess it's Hooker for me.....maybe I can get an Edelbrock muffler for it. You know the Edelbrock muffler alone is like $195!!

Or, you could just chop off the turndowns and put on what ever tips you want.

I've see then hooker tips and to me they look very cheap. Also tips that go past the bumper to me look sad too.
