dual exhaust kit any good?

hey guys, im thinking about getting this exhaust kit for my Iroc
Summit Dual Exhaust Systems: SUM-CBJJ205 - summitracing.com

the pipe diameter is 2.25 and the headers primary tube diameter is 1 1/2, is this an ok kit for the price? and what would i be getting power-wise with this kit over stock?

i'd skip that and just make the custom exhaust we all make.

headmann 1 5/8" long tubes
headmann S-bends in 2.5"
summit brand H-pipe in 2.5"
sections of 2.5" pipe to any choice of mufflers then turndowns before rear axle

more power, but who knows how much. if it's a stock motor maybe 15hp maybe less maybe more. this is a hi-flowing exhaust and not needed for a stock motor, perhaps a nice 3" catback would work better for you if you're staying with a 305 that is stock.

Depends on how much power you want out of it, with 1 1/2 primaries and 2 1/4 pipe you will be limited to 400 hp or so
