Smile Edelbrock catback?

Well, I have the money for an LS1 T/A, I just have to find one that I like . But in the mean time, I figure I'd get started deciding on which performance parts I would like to add. No sense wasting time, right?

I had a GTA with Flowmasters, I have an 84 Mustang with Flowmasters, and many of my friends have Magnaflow. I want to be a little different and don't want something so expensive in terms of a catback, because I would rather get some nice LT's and Y.

How is the Edelbrock catback? Does it sound good? Nice gains to be had? Thanks!

I have it and it sounds great. One of the best sounding out there but the gains are minimal. I have a cutout and gain 18 rwgp and 10 ft/lbs tq by opening the cutout. I would choose magnaflow or Hooker catback for top gains with awsome sound. Unless you get a cutout too, then go edelbrock.

Track gains were not noticable when the car was stock and I put the catback on, now with ported heads ,cam and Headers , I gain 2 mph and knock off 2 tenths by opening the cutout.

ALso, Edelbrock does not come with tips. You have to put your own on.

Hmm. If there are no sufficient gains and it doesn't come with tips, then I don't think I'm interested. Thank you for your help, though!

Inexpensive? Then get Hooker or Magnaflow. If you wanna spend a little more, get GMMG.
