JC Whitney catback for thirdgens???

They sell a catback for thirdgens. I know that a lot of people give JCW **** because they are not very reliable and they're pretty cheap but has anyone tried this catback? It seems pretty good with a 3" int pipe and dual 2.5" outlets. It is only $130 some dollars. What are your thoughts on it?

It's a dynomax system - or at least it was a few years ago when I got it for my old '83 bird. It works fine but don't expect it to last like stainless... it's a good system for stock replacement (cheaper too) or to free up a couple ponies. You can always ask what brands they are selling by asking the tech line.

'89 Formula - Thunderchicken - 5.0 LB9/T-5/3.45 9-bolt/black/t-tops - the fun car!
'90 GTA - The GTA - 5.0 LB9/TH700/3.27 9-bolt/black/t-tops/tan leather - the cruiser.

I'll second that and add that: "If ya want it done right, ya do it yourself.

(All the measuring for my custom 3.5" catback is done. Now comes the real work - cutting, welding, fitting, etc.,...).
