Your Kidding right ?

I vote for one of the Mufflex setups but with the single out turndown.
Gives a clean rear appearence and flows better over a dual out setup.

Of coarse I'm Biased because I have the 3.5" SOTL setup with the 30 series Flowmaster.

Well maybe not everything but it is one of the best flowing catbacks made for these cars, so if you have a good setup like Kooks 1 7/8 LT's with a 3" y-pipe that has a flowmaster 4" merge and the hooker it will defidently flow like a ****.

But like you im biased since I run a Hooker catback, I showed over 10 rwhp on the dyno vs my old slp dual/dual which is supposed to flow really well?

The single out mufflers will always out flow the dual outs because their more efficient. So you have to ask yourself, what is the real goal better flow or appearance ?

Anyways heres a little info on pipe sizes

when i installed my hooker catback with stock manifolds cats and ypipe, i could not tell a difference at idle.
when i got on the gas however, the tone was awesome and nice.
its a different thing with a full exhaust, any louder now and i will have to put cats on.
