I have an 89 5.0 With GT 40 heads and intake, b303 Cam, shorty headers, pulleys and an off road h pipe, the mufflers on it suck and the rest of the exhaust is cut-off behind them. So I get the exhaust in the passenger compartment. I need to know who has the best cat bak system (performanc, and sound ) for this set up. I dont want it to be annoying loud, just sound good. Thanks

I would go with the Mac Flowpaths...they are nice for the price...but your car will be pretty mean/loud...

Oh oh! The exhaust holy wars are about to erupt again! It really all comes down to personal taste and budget. Lots of good threads on this to do some research. I'm partial to my setup (Bassani Street Thunder stainless cat back)--quiet at idle and on the highway (no drone) but a nice growl at part through WOT and I get many compliments on its sound. Happy shopping!
