most guys go with dynamax cat backs
pretty much all aftermarket high flow cats are created equal...you could always gut your cat and run a straight pipe through it...
and no one that i know of has tried the pacesetter headers yet...i couldnt even find them on pacesetter's website...

I like my dynomax cat-back for my 88 Camaro. It sounds pretty decent considering I only have a 2.8L. My brother's 86 Camaro also has a Dynomax cat-back, but with a Flowmaster muffler. It's louder than mine and sounds great. I just got a new cat., but I'm not sure which kind, just an after-market direct fit. Luckily it didn't quiet down my car!

Welcome to the forums, Nicki88 and Rebel92!
I also have the Dynomax cat-back, part # 17493, Summitracing.com part # WLK-17493. I like the sound, other people like the sound, and I even got a performance kick that I didn't expect when I put it on.
I have a Catco highflow cat on there right now; I guess I like it, it helped me pass emissions so I could really care less.
Before the Catco, I had a "Products for Power" (supposedly Dynomax) high flow cat. But I put it on in 1997, and at some point in the past few years, it self-gutted itself... the catalyst broke up and went somewhere (hopefully not in my muffler, dammit).
Before the PFP cat, I bought the car with a gutted cat. Didn't realize until I removed it to put the PFP on. Didn't notice any change in performance OR sound when I put the PFP cat on. And when I just put the Catco on, after having another gutted cat (the PFP) on, I didn't notice any change, either.
Summit's actually running a deal on the Dynomax Super Turbo Catback. You get a free hat and shirt with any exhaust system. Figures... they didn't have that kind of thing when I needed to buy mine!

Hey, welcome...
I've got a custom VP 3" mandrel exhaust, that I'm planning on making a recording of with the turbo in, to see what you guys think of it.
Only problem, is it's using a Flowmaster, and I haven't gotten the Bassani muffler I want yet
