Got some flows....
Well... i got the american thunder catback yesterday. KC, don't be mad, i know i kept saying that i was going with magnaflow, which i still will, but i bought the entire catback from a friend in very good shape, for $100. I really couldn't pass it up. My questions is, do catbacks give improvement in hp/tq numbers? Even if its 5-10hp. Just curious.

Re: Got some flows....
The better an engine can breath the better it will perform. And yeah there'd be some hp gain as a result.
Oh, on a side note, I'm kicking myself in the rear because I went to a car show last weekend and there was a 91 RS that had every remaining toy on it I want (mostly centrifigal s/c), but I didn't take my camera. Owner fabbed up one off headers that were pretty nice. Plugs were a lot easier to get to than the TES and didn't make the funky rear bends of hookers but of course not emissions legal, oops.

Re: Got some flows....
Oh, and I do understand the V6 guys compalints about Flowmasters. But honestly, like the TES headers, for V8's they are the best bang for your buck. What muffler and pipe diameter did you get?

Re: Got some flows....
It's 3in. piping with a 80 series muffler i believe. Supercharger, damn that is nice. Must be wondering to have money. I wonder if i could find a used supercharger. Btw, i heard a 95 3.4 with a flowmaster setup, and it did sound really bad. But i heard one on an 8, convinced me to buy.

Re: Got some flows....
thats weird i hop on here right after getting home from getting an 80 series put on and the first post i see is about getting a flowmaster. I think you'll like it a lot. A lot of people were saying they didnt like flowmaster, but i think it sounds great.
