Besides, they were free. They weren't loud enough for my grandpa...

Kevin, here's a video clip:
Here is a short vid of me over revving my HHR while its still cold. No, really it is a video of the flowmaster I put on a couple weeks ago. I don't know how to do sound clips so I made a video, complete with condensation!

I agree flowmaster always sounded good on a V8 I had them on my Z28 and Formula Firebird, but.......
I think R CA's setup was a muffler (40 series) + stock resonator which is going to be louder that the catback system which uses a quieter 60 series muffler + resonator. My neighbors got a 40 series muffler only on his caliber and in my opinion it is too loud and probably has a interior resonance that is louder than you would want. However I think the catback with the resonator may alleviate the interior sound a little.
Other issue w/flow masters are too prone to rust unless you constantly keep at it with a spray can, which you should if you're going to pay some good change for a system.

the cat-back uses a 50 series. i want a 40 series so i may just have the resonator removed and have a 40 series put on. i always loved the 40 series i put on my truck. what size is our exhaust system any ways. i may buy the 2.4 exhaust remove the resonator. and put a 40 series delta flow on it. or just buy the kit. it sounds nice and i think it may end up cheaper in the long run. and that vid sounds slick.

if you live in or near idaho , flowmaster may give you a free exhaust. i just saw this on there website. they don't have hhr exhaust , so they need yours to develope one , maybe. EDIT , sorry ,
, they do have a hhr system. but they may want to design anouther.
