I had one on my Camaro. Personally I didn't like it. I got mine from Summit They have two designs one is 2.5 inlet and dual 2.5 outlet the other is 3" inlet and dual 2.5 outlet (this is the one I had)
I took it off and put my stock system back on but I may try the Dynamax system next. I noticed that my intermidate pipe is starting to go bad.

ReDRSMan, you could get it from Summit Racing, 1-800-230-3030, or http://www.summitracing.com - it's best to call the guys and ask for it. I don't know any Flowmaster part numbers off-hand.

The Dynomax cat-back (super-turbo muffler, and all pipes after the catalytic converor) part # is WLK-17493, $150 from http://www.summitracing.com . That's the same one the V8 f-body 305's used (except for engine codes H & E).

The installation is a complete & easy bolt-on, but you'll probably need to hunt down the "right rear" exhaust hanger from a junkyard v8 f-body (or buy new from the dealer). A few V6's used a hanger from the rear right framerail that consisted of a rubber oval. The stock exhaust had a pin on it, off the intermediate pipe, that slid "left-to-right" into the oval.

The v8's used a hanger that looked like a rubber rectangle. The stock exhaust had a bar of metal coming off the I-pipe. This metal piece slides into the hanger "front-to-rear". Both hangers share the same mounting bolts on the frame, so it's an easy swap to do.

Also, for an exhaust swap (cat-back), it's much easier if you lower the rear axle down, as opposed to lifting the car reallllly high in the air. This lets you loop the intermediate pipe over the axle easier.

By the way, I have the Dynomax Super Turbo cat-back, in case you couldn't guess.

I got mine from a muffler shop owned by a friend of my dad. I put in a singlr outlet 40 series and juist dumped the pipe so that it doesn't stick out. It sounds way better than my stock muffler, the only thing I didn't like is when I first put it in it sounded like a ***** at high rpm's. But know it's been broken in and it gives a nice throaty sound.
