It idles quiet especially if you have stock cam and thats without cats. The video clips make it sound louder than it is.

I liked mine pretty good but it slowed my car wayyy down from the duals that I had before it. I had to let it go. If I had to run a catback that would probably be it.

i run LT's, OFY (brand unknown, came on car when i bought it), but i know its got a hooker cat back. it sounds good, but can get a little raspy towards the higher rpm band, say 3k on up. you can really hear it coming when you're in the throttle. sounds better to me down low, running hwy speeds. (i also used similar header setup and hooker cat back on previous 99 T/A) i'm actually planning on taking it off later, trying to find something quieter...jegs has there own brand with a turbo style muffler, might try it...

I run Pacesetter LT headers, Hooker ORYP, and Aerochamber muffler and its definitely not quiet. I also read that this setup would be quiet so that's what I went with. I guess if you're in a rural area with few neighbors and the LEO's don't bother you it would be ok. Where I live its a problem.

My exhaust is stock forward and only have the Hooker catback. I really like the way it sounds. Not real loud, but sounds great when the hammer drops.

Have to agree, the Hooker sounds great. I'm in the process of putting in my Pacesetter LT's & ORY right now. I was running stock manifolds w/o cats & it sounded great. I can't wait to fire it up with the LT's.

buy cats for it. an LS1 - cats = rasp. be prepared for *pop* *pop* *pop*. people say hooker doesn't rasp but it does. they're comparing it to the loudmouth and such w/o cats. all ORY's on LS1's rasp. put cats on it and it'll sound great.

I have the same exact set up as you. When you are idling and driving nice and civily it won't be too loud, it will have a nice tone but it will be relativley quiet. When you stomp on it, it will sound really really nice. I get tons of looks like wtf was that. It is a really good set up the original owner did it and he did a good job of picking a nice setup

FLP LT's, ory and hooker. Love it. No rasp, little annoying at 1/2 throttle but a quick flooring it fixed that.

I have Pacesetter LT's and Jet Hot Y Pipe w/ hooker catback. I first put it on with the cats on and it was pretty quiet. I took the cats out and I was surprised with how much louder it is. I think I will put the cats back in, as w/out cats it's a little raspy around 2500rpms.

I love my Hooker With Pacesetters and a mufflex ORY quite when I want to to be and loud when I want it. I love the tone. Did the same setup on my buddies Hawk just with TSP's catted Y and that really quieted it down, still sounds good though.

My Hooker cat-back with LT's, ORP, no cats, and a cam sounds mean! Far from quiet here. I love it. Best bang for price cat-back too!

The catback alone is quite. I drive around with my cut out open 24/7 so it doesn't bug me. I do plan on LT's after my paint job.

LT's, ORY, !cats, aerochamber dumped...no rasp...probably my favorite catback.

I ran a Hooker and longtubes on two of my previous f-bodies. I think it sounds good and is my favorite exhaust for the money. On my last car I had a Vig 3200 and Hooker and it wasn't too bad, but I wouldn't have wanted to go with anything louder since it took a lot of throttle just to get moving.

I have a hooker catback with an ORY and a bullet muffler in the intermediate pipe and it's still loud. I am about to swap the dynomax bullet for something quieter.
