Default tired of my hookers :)

here is my problem the hooker exhaust really just isnt loud enough for me anymore. i guess because i heard my buddies ls1 with a loudmouth now i want louder..lol.... so here is mmy dilemma... should i just keep the hooker exhaust and get headers and a ory pipe...or will should i get a loudmouth with headers and y pipe?

either is fine with me cause i really like the sound of both, but will the hookers get louder with the headers and ory pipe....

lol...sorry this was crazy...but it was on my mind so i figured i would get some opinions.

loudmouth sounds like *** in all applications IMO

keep your hooker and get headers. it'll be substantially louder and you'll see a much better performance increase than swiching to a loudmouth. plus, if you install the headers yourself, you'll even save money if you go pacesetters.

You would end up with more power from the headers and ORY, but the loudmouth will be alot cheaper. So its all about the $$ you want to lay down. Or do both and wake everyone up HAHA

Go with the longtubes, ory, and keep the Hooker. If that's not loud enough then get a QTP electric cutout.

I have the hooker cat back w/ Pacesetter headers and ory. LOVE IT!!! it sounds great when you get on it, but out on the highway at 60-70 it's quiet! Get the headers, you won't regret it.

the headers do make the idle a little bit louder, but you REALLY hear it under WOT

Walk softly and carry a big stick!

Get some LT's and a cam, then quietly blow your buddy's doors off. lol (It won't actually be all that quiet.)

Don't spend good money replacing perfectly good parts just to make it louder IMO.

What he said. I will tell you in my opinion the loudmouth with headers and an ORY sounds like complete ***. No refined sound, just loud, obnoxious raspy sound. I guess it's cool if you're in high school and you're trying to impress a bunch 17yr olds but a lot of people will agree that comba is just crap.

True duals are not as loud as LT ORP and Loudmouth.

Hooker Catback wont make as much power as Loudmouth either. I have had both and made more power with the LM.
