Cheapest place for hooker catback? Seems like the ws6 store is the cheapest at 349. Anywhere cheaper? I tried Maryland speed and Texas speed, both around 400 without shipping. Any help would be great.

It's all up to you but I wouldn't do the loud mouth unless your just wanting to be loud and love it loud and don't care how it sounds. You can look at hooker or magnaflow either one will be good for you. I would ditch thinking of it. But if you got long tubs and a catted Y and Flowmaster merge it may take out alot of rasp but it's up to you if your willing to take the risk. In the end it's your money and you spend it so you have to live with it.

I had a LM and loved it but I kept getting hassled by the cops so I switched to a Hooker CB. The Hooker is too quiet for my taste but at least I have peace-of-mind when I drive. My 224/112 cam loped pretty good with the LM, but with the Hooker it's hard to tell I have an upgraded cam. If a cop had his back to me he would turn around when he heard the LM. Now they don't even look at me unless they're watching the traffic.
I love the Hooker's dual chrome tips though.

I dont want quiet!! AHHHH, i hate to hear how quiet the hooker is.
I have never owned a quiet vehicle, both my Grand Prixs had loudmouths and my bike has a little straight through carbon fiber can.
Looking for a used loudmouth now.

I'd have a LM if I could get away with it. Recently my city passed a noise ordinance tarketing Harley riders with straight pipes, but my car was louder than the Harleys really 
. It was getting too expensive for me to keep my LM with the tickets and increased insurance rates, plus my license was eventually suspended, but the LM exhaust rocks.
The Hooker does sound good in the 4, 5, 6k rpm range. It comes alive, but the LM was badass at idle too.

I think I am going with the LM2 exhaust, after talking with a tech at the WS6 store. Still loud, but not too loud.
Cops in Mass are sticklers. If youre in worcester, your damn exhaust noise must bounce off all the buildings!

Anyway, here's a link to Worcester's noise ordinance if you want to look at it. It's the third .pdf down in the ordinance list:

I used to like setting off the car alarms when I drove by parked cars. haha Actually Worcester cops are pretty cool, it's the small town cops like Auburn or Southbridge that are the real ******.

Yea they are terrible my friend lives in worcester and he had more trouble with surrounding town cops over worcester. Worcester has better things to deal with other than noise ordinances and other dumb car related stuff for the most part. But i havent ever been pulled over in worcester by a local or statey for that fact.

True Joe about Worcester, another negative is that the inspection stations are hesitant to give a sticker if your exhaust is too loud. I don't know if that ties into the noise ordinance or not. I just went with a Hooker CB instead of finding out the hard way. On the other hand they now only check OBDII codes instead of a sniff test, so I went with longtubes as soon as the law was changed . My tuning software gives me complete control over how the test will come out, so I can basically do any performance mod I want to. I just have to keep a lid on the noise, and the Hooker CB sounds pretty good just not super loud and raspy, plus my car is as fast as it was with the LM so I can't really complain. I feel for the brothers in California.
