If I could do it again and I had the money, I would get the Random Tech cat-back. But on the other hand, I don't know if I could be much happier with the Hooker Aerochamber cat-back I purchased for $260 last year. If you don't want to spend the $500+ on the RT system, I would strongly suggest the Hooker!

I want a deep sound. What about mac exhaust, anybody run that setup. I have heard good things about R.T exhaust (sound and quality).

if you want aluminized I would go with the hooker or flowmaster. the flowmaster has stainless tips and sound way better than the magnaflow (which is not stainless). if you want stainless then the magnaflow is what you want. to me It comes down to $$$ and life. the mac kit has crome tips so the tips aren't going to look as good as the flowmaster after time. the random is way more and it is just and alumized exaust unless you get the stainless one. the hooker sounds good but I don't like the tips as much.
