I notice no change in performance, and I am now looking for exhaust options.

Try the Magnaflow's. I have always been a Flowmaster fan but after hearing the difference I won't go back. Maybe I am getting old too, but that resonance in the cab on a long trip gets old fast. The 92 truck I have now had a flowmaster on it when I bought it and it's hard to put money in something that has already been upgraded, but it will be getting replaced soon.

you folks think a magnaflow catback system with a hi-flow cat will sound good and increase power and gas mileage on a 5.7 hemi?

Spectra makes a cai that runs about $159. Check out amazon.com. I purchased mine at A local parts store for my 01 yukon 5.3. And contrary to what others have posted I've noticed a immediate difference in acceleration ,mpg and even added a little rumble to my stock exhaust. Very easy bolt on took about an hour.
