Yep, Flowmaster Cat back, 3" W/ 40 series muffler. Dyno showed 1.9 rwhp gain,
average over 3 pulls. Thats a sad 2.3 flywheel HP improvement (170 bucks).
It does sound good though.
I look at as the 3rd piece to an exhaust puzzle.

1st peice is the headers.

2nd peice would be a custom Y-pipe with improved mini cats, removal of the
3rd cat and increase intermediate pipe dia. to 3" from the Y-pipe to muffler.

3rd would be the cat back system.

Then you'll see about 10-20 HP increase.

I dunno about the 70 Series but I'm using a 40 series 3" cat back (inlet)
and
dual 2.5" outlet. It sounds sweet and might have added 10hp or so....
