Definitely magnaflow cat-back. its got that deep lound round rumble your looking for. But if you wanna do a true duals setup, i still suggest magnaflow. Whatever you do dont do flowmaster, sound like crap in my opinion
well my suggestion would have been a random technologies setup with dual cats or a full dynomax exhaust system with oversized high flow cat. but since you have the hooker longtube headers on there i would say trying to find finish off the exhaust with hooker. do they make a full system? its always best to buy an entire exhaust system setup instead of piecing one together in my opinion. but if youre going to go with piecing it together use dynomax cats. magnaflow and dynomax are my favs for this engine. oh and ive never seen a h or x pipe for these cars either. they have one large "tunnel" for a fit of up to 3.5" exhaust pipe all the way to the back i do believe. otherwise there is ground clearance issues. you could also fit 2 2.5" pipes all the way ive heard for a true dual exhaust. but thats custom done i do believe.
I've always been a fan of how hooker's aerochambers sound. They've found their way onto just about every car i've owned. I had an 89 Formula 350 (5.7TPI, LT headers, cammed a bit..) pretty similar setup as yours-- I loved it with the aerochamber.. sounded like a sexy beast. Magnaflows are another good option too, they sounded pretty deep and mellow.. The hookers popped and snarled a lil bit more tho:) I stay away from flowmaster cuz of drone, but it's all personal preference.. search youtube.. there's tons of people with no life that post exhaust clips on there. Thirdgen.org is also a good site to check out what people are running and how they like it.. but you probably won't be disappointed with either magnaflow or hooker setups. If you want REAL LOUD maybe put in some of those cutout things right after the headers ;) --just my opinion, good luck. nice car--
