VERY HELPFUL

If you are planning on doing headers also, I would stick with the Hooker, Magnaflow or SLP DD catback to keep the noise levels down. In my opinion headers + Loudmouth =

Personally I think the Magnaflow is the best flowing, sounding, and quitest catback. *IF* that is what you are looking for. You could also get duals with cats and edelbrock 304 ss mufflers. It will provide a better tone, more power, and about the same noise level. It would be my overall choice if I wanted a quiet, refined exhaust setup, that made good power. You decide whether you want duals or a y-pipe.

Both clips have similar mods.

Edelbrock 304ss duals:
