If you're looking to squeeze out every last HP, then yes Edelbrock is a little restrictive, but there's no need to waste money and get a new set. I wouldn't recommend the flowmaster cat-back, it's among the most restrictive. I got the Hooker and am very satisfied, haven't heard anyone that isn't. Plus it flows better, to me sounds better and comes with dual tips.

As in your other post, SLP's and Flowmaster if u want sound, not sure about the Aerochambers flow compared to Flowmaster since I've never seen any comparison.
