I just had my cats go out on my 98. Luckily they are warrentied till 70,000 miles so GM is fixing them for me. Now, I think I want to run a cat back system on the car and wasn't sure which system to go with. I am looking to sell the car in the near future so don't want one of the high dollar corsa system (would prob never recupe that $$). Looks like Elderbrock, Hooker, and Flowmaster all have systems around the $300 range. Has anyone had experience with any of these? Any recomendations?

Also, like I said I may be selling the car if anyone is interested. 98 Z28 Hardtop 6 speed. 18 inch Z06 wheels, ss spoiler, lowered w/ 8 way adjustable shocks. Have all original parts too.

Thanks for the help!!

SK, just curious, but if you're going to sell the car in the near future, why do you want to spend money on a cat-back exhaust? You won't get any of that money back when selling the car. If you're just looking for a better sound, I'd get a muffler put on your existing system and save the money. If you're looking for more performance also, and to keep the cost down, I think the Magnaflow cat-back would be good, as was suggested above. I run a Walker Ultra-Flo on my LT1 and love the sound. I believe an Ultra-Flo and Magnaflow are similarly designed.

BTW, since you're not very far from me, how much are you thinking of selling your car for?
