I'd been doing some reaserach after blowing my head gasket and came across a page talking about how, at high RPM's, the SC's are running like 14-15psi back pressure in the cyl's from the crappy exhaust that ford put in to choke these cars down, and that the exhaust is one of the big contributers to blown headgastets. I knew that there was a problem with the stock, but now i'm kinda forced to look into fixing the problem so i don't blow another headgasket when i get this all fixed..Also, i'd like the added HP
So my question is this.
Does anybody know if a flowmaster 2 1/2 catback exhaust relieves enough back pressure to really alieveate the problem with the exhaust? Is magnaflow a better option? Or do i really need to go more than just catback?
And just on a question of personal taste... is the flowmaster really loud? or more of a throaty sound.. i don't want to have an obnoxious sounding car.
