Default Random Tech Cat-Backs

I was wondering if anyone has this set-up on their F-Body.I read an article where they added this to a stock 98 Z28 and gained 20hp & 22lb-ft.This set-up is $320.My only concern is how it sounds with stock manifolds.I would be thankfull for any input.

I used to have this exhaust on my car until SLP came out with the Loudmouth. I'm actually getting ready to put it back on the car. I thought it sounded good. Not very loud at idle but it screamed pretty loud with some throttle. That was with stock manifolds & cats. I only picked up 3rwhp over a stock SS catback. It will still sound good with headers.

I used to have the RT catback also. I think it sounds good w/stock manifolds and cats. After the Mac and ORP went on that catback had to go. Rasp was bad even w/a bullet in the I-pipe.

I really like mine. Nice and tame around town, and plenty loud at WOT.
