I have the hooker CB with their LTs and O/R Y. If you are looking for a loud CB this is not the CB for you.
At idle it is close to stock, regular driving it is slightly louder than stock and at WOT it has a nice muscular tone but isn't overbearing...
I paired a cutout with this setup that way I can be obnoxious when needed...

If you plan on more moding in the future get the hooker CB. As said above it is not a very loud CB on a stock car, but add headers, off road y pipe, and a cam and it gets louder. With every thing I have done to my car I would not want it any louder at crusing speeds and it screams at WOT. Also the hooker is one of the best flowing CB's for the f body.

^His vid notwithstanding, it's pretty quiet on a stock car. I have the muffler grafted onto the stock I-pipe on my M6 car and it's only slightly louder than stock in typical driving. But it has good sound quality and I like it quite a bit.
If you want good quality LOUD sound with stock manifolds and Y, then GMMG is your best bet. But $$$$. Or if you don't want to spend a lot and don't care much about flow, Flowmaster. Yeah, that's it - just get a Flowmaster.

Hooker CB's are not quiet. Once they "break in" a little bit, they get louder. I had a Hooker CB on my 98 SS that made 475 rwhp (heads/cam). After about 6 months with the hooker on the car, it was a LOT louder. Still sounded good though.
Flowmasters are garbage for F-bodies. Pure garbage.

Luckily for you, Hooker sells the the muffler alone. I'm not sure how effective it is by itself though because most of these kits are sold as kits for a reason. Often times, performance items only work as well as they are advertised when used with the other items they were designed to work with. i.e., the kit.
I'm not really sure why you'de want to get rid of the SLP setup to begin with. Unless something is messed up with it, SLP's exhausts are designed to support past 500 horsepower. I have never gotten anything from SLP that didn't do exactly what it was advertised to do either. Basically what I'm saying is that until your build exceeds the SLP exhausts capabilities, I'd leave it right where it is. If you don't have SLP's headers and cats, I'd make that my first priority. That would be all the extra noise you need. After that, I'd recommend grafting a set of Flowmaster Pulse Tech Scavenger tri y collectors, or Dynatech, Edelbrock, or Borla merged collectors to the SLP headers. The tri Y collectors straight rock for off idle torque.
Be careful with exhaust mods because often times people make the same mistakes with them as they do with cams. They stuff the biggest one they can find in the car and wonder why they lost thier low end torque... personal experience... lol

The OP asked about a muffler to attach to the stock system - not even a catback. He also said he wants something louder. I have that setup on my M6 car with a Hooker and it's QUIET.
I can tell you right now - if you want loud and you install a Hooker muffler in your current setup, you are going to be disappointed with it. It won't be that much louder than what you have now.

The sound of a Hooker on a 475 rwhp car can hardly be compared to a stock car with manifolds, cats, stock Y and I.
The OP asked about a muffler to attach to the stock system - not even a catback. He also said he wants something louder. I have that setup on my M6 car with a Hooker and it's QUIET.

What didn't get processed correctly? Is a "CB" not "Cat-Back"? I meant everything I recommended. The stock SLP exhaust system, if it is a REAL SLP exhaust, will support upward of 500 horse. If it is what the OP says it is, it would be stupid to replace any part of it just to make more noise -short of adding SLP's headers and cats.. Which, if the op's SLP car isn't equipped with SLP's headers already, should be plenty of extra sonic volume...and a better choice for the "next" exhaust mod.
