The Cat back systems sound verry agressive
Anyone race at 75-80 or Capital raceway?

All I'll say is I hope you got a three chamber.
I got a two (on my S-10 Blazer) I wish I spent the few extra for a three chamber. Damn thing still is rust free, tho! So I can;t change it out (actually, won't unitl it rusts away & in SoCal, that's forever!!)

i've got an 80 series on my 85, and it sounds really good. At idle, and to about 3k ,the sound is very evil, above that it's like a loud v6, a very loud v6. No complaints here.

I had a Flowmaster put on in January and i got rid of it around May. It was WAY to fugging loud and it didn't sound great. It started to drive me crazy. I drove slow as hell and I couldn't wait to get into Overdrive so the noise would go away temporarily. Driving slow did get me better gas milage though. I didn't notice any peformance gains/losses.

Overall, I think it was $230 wasted. ($100 for new muffler/install)
