next spring im looking for a new cat back system- the y-pipes almost wasted, and the muffler is sprouting rust holes. time to replace!
i was thinking id like to go with flowmaster delta 40's, (love that sound!) but im curious what everyone else has out there and what you think/what it cost ya. i dont think they will hook up directly to the stock y pipe without mods.
is dynomax any good or is it cheaply made? the pricing seems too cheap to be of quality.
Flowmasters are over pricedin my opinion. Just put 2 dynomax on my 67 dodge coronet with a 400hp 340 & I think they're just as good at half the price & they sound great. Not to many people crawl under your car & look at your muffler...having to pipes done properly is very important. Cost is around $400 to 450 to have a custom bent 2 1/2" dual exhaust installed & welded around here.

i just got my "QQ" plates, so im sure its not a problem going to dual exhaust and ditching the cat, however, i wasnt looking to depart from stock all that much, say maybe a good quality y pipe and a good muffler.
keep in mind, im not looking for "redneck" loud, but something like a good muscle car sound.
The 24-30 inch chambered "sticks" are not obnoxiously loud. They have what I call an "old school" muscle car roar. You can still use them downstream of the converters if you wish. I don't think anyone would be disappointed after hearing these pipes on their car.
I`m going with the hooker side pipes. But The chambered exhast would be my second choice.
Good luck
