Default Help me pick a catback....

Ok here's the deal....I just purchased Pacesetter longtubes and an offroad y pipe. I currently have a slp loudmouth catback and I know that with lt's and an offroad y the loudmouth doesnt sound very good, its too loud and too raspy. What I am trying to do is decide if I should keep the loudmouth and get a muffler to replace the resonator or if I should just buy a whole different catback and sell my loudmouth...

If I do a different catback I dont want to spend a shitload of money on something like a corsa, gmmg, borla, etc. so help me out guys....what do you think?

I have been to ls1sounds btw and I am still just trying to get some opinions and input on what sounds good with lt's and an offroad y

i love loud but i like it loud when it sounds good.....not when it sounds like ***. If I get a catback and its not loud enough I will just do a cutout or cutouts. I am gonna be moving into an apartment over the summer and I dont want to have something thats going to cause my neighbors to want to lynch me.....

I LOVE my Hooker. I just recieved my Pacesetter LT's/TSP ORY combo & can't wait to install it. Every Hooker I have heard with LT's/ORY sounds awsome.

Hooker FTW!!!!!

Once the system gets broken in the more that it's on the car, the better the sound gets......at least IMO it does. Since I've installed my LT's 2 yrs ago, the sound has gotten a lot deeper and louder with the Hooker on the car.

I love my Hooker I just put on my car. I ditched my loudmouth for the hooker when I went with pacesetter long tubes and a mufflex y. I also sold my loudmouth for $260 in 20 min in the for sale section. Cost $30 to ship it and paid for most of the hooker catback.

Borla sounds nice. It was on the car when I bought it. Nice looking, too.

It is expensive, but there are vendors out there that have competitivie prices.
