honestly, the cat back made it sound pretty good but no noticeable gains in power. the chip paired with the cat and the headers are a different story. before i did this, i felt the car was kind of boring in its power delivery. afterwards it made it into much more of a visceral experience and i enjoyed touching the gas pedal all the more.
as far as sound goes, i really enjoyed the headers with the stock catback. it was a subdued throaty, almost exotic kind of sound. the RSBarn catback made it a little louder which i also enjoyed but i prefer the former setup.
all that being said, i don't have any dyno time before or after. just seat-of-the-pants and grin factor.

Here's a video of the sound difference. mine is the second to last setup. I have the high flow cat instead of the test pipe so i feel like its not as 'resonancy". i like it, im just selling the car and the guy wants the stock exhaust.

After 30 yrs of marriage(good ones too btw), when faced with such sad stressful financial decisions, I always end weighing it against, "Its cheaper than divorce court!"

Truly sorry that you're having to exit 968 ownership, hope my attempts at a bit of lightheartedness wasn't mistaken for anything insensitive for your situation. Hope you are back in a '68 sooner than you imagine & that you still come 'round to be a part of the group. Wish I could be the one to afford your RSBarn catback & chips. GLWS
