Default old question.... sorry

Hey guys,

I was about to modify my stock exhaust and I was wondering what really is the best for my money. I want something that sounds very beefy but not freaking obnoxious all the time. With performance also in mind, what would you guys suggest. (I will spend extra if need be so feel free to list the more pricy systems if you see fit.)

For the money and sound (IMO) it doesn't get much better than the Hooker cat-back.

Define "system," do you mean replacing your restrictive 98 manifolds, cats, and muffler? Or just before the Catalytic converter hence a "Catback," system? I got the PPC 3" RT cat & Y system (sponsor)-->for performance going to a boring flowmaster 80 series that I have had on the car forever. I am probably going to change the crapmaster to a hooker muffler.
