Edelbrock Cat Back.
Is it worth it? Its one of the cheaper systems out there. If not then what is the best cheap catback? The only reason i ask is it kinda looks like that gawd
awful Flowmaster system.

i had it on my 97 3.8 it sounded good IMO not that quiet either. it is similar to the crossflow-master but i think it flows a little better. tips are hideous and loooooong. if you get it id recommend buying some new ones unless you like em BIG

I think people stay away from it because the I pipe sizes are the same as stock.
Again theres nothing wrong with a Flowmaster system except the 80 series dual outlet crossflow muffler. A 2 chamber 40 series is the way to go.
Too many people are wrapped up in how a system looks vs how it performs.
A Single in Single out system will always out perform a single in dual out system esp. when a muffler is involved. people just got to get over not having 2 tips.Craig

oh ok..
well a dual in dual out system would be even better than that (x pipe vs y pipe)

Dual in Dual out single muffler systems were used back in the late 60's and early 70's on F-bodies. And yes obviuosly a true dual set up would be better but IMO it sacrifices too much ground clearance. There is a Local shop around Me that will custom make a true dual to fit in the standard location of the original catbacks, problem is that it's NOT mandrel bent and the mufflers are right at the back of the car. There was also some talk over on Tech long ago about how a larger traditional Ypipe setup can outflow a true dual set up.

I'm getting a custom job done this upcoming week or next, depending on when all the parts arrive.. but he's doing a true dual over the axle mandrel bent for $300.. also he's putting on the corsa tips too

So how does the edelbrock perform compaired to other aftermarket catbacks (muffler systems ie magnflow, hooker)?
So does a 2 chamber 40 series performs as well as other aftermarket catbacks(muffler systems ie magnflow, hooker)?
Well hell if a single in single out performs better and someone is concerned with performance and appearance . . .why not just put one funtional exhaust outlet and one false outlet . . easy fix to me! lolLast edited by GULLETT17; 01-02-2008 at 06:14 AM.

Anybody thats been dealing with these car long enough can tell you that a single in/out system is better because it has less turbulence inside the muffler. Obviously a LM or GMMG set up is uneffected because they don't really have a Muffler.
Like I said before most people shy away from single out setups cause they can't get over having one exhaust tip.
The Old SLP DOTL system is very similar to what I'm talking about also but it has 2 2.5" tips on the left and a straight thru muffler.
Heres a pic of the Mufflex 3.5" SOTL set up

right but it's still not better than a true dual set up

Well now that this thread has been completely hijacked.
Like I said before it is dependant on Pipe sizes and efficiency
Obviuosly a dual 3" setup will out flow a single 4" but at what costs ?
I don't see to many dual 3" systems that exit at the rear bumper and don't sacrifice some ground clearance.
