Best catback for H/C car with ORY
I just changed the heads, cam, intake, and headers on my 02 SS. I am happy with the 470hp it made at the wheels, but it is too loud to drive on the street. It has Kooks LTs, ORY and a GMMG catback. I think I am going to get a noise ticket if I continue to drive it like this. It pops really bad under the least little bit of a load at around 2K to 2.5K rpms. My question is really for people with H/C cars with LTs and ORYs. What catbacks are people with similar setups running? Magnaflow, Mufflex, Hooker, etc? I don't mind a fairly loud exhaust, but my car currently sounds about as loud as a mild big block with open headers to me. I had a resonator Loudmouth with stock headers and Y pipe before, and it was downright silent compared to my current setup. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hooker or SLP Dual/Dual. They flow just as good as any other catback and judging by your post will create a sound similair to what you are looking for. The other alternative is to add a good set of cats such as Magnaflow's.

Boom! Here is the thread with pics and info and video. https://ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iii-external-engine/677600-exhaust-change-up-now-w-pictures.html
I have since pulled all of it off and black ceramic coated it. Car is a lot quieter than previous dynomax dumped setup. There are pics of before and after as well.

magnaflow, no cats with H/C = RASP CITY!
hooker, no cats with H/C = BADASS!
GMMG, no cats with H/C = "glasspack" sound =
GMMG WITH cats, & H/C = very nice
no cats = less weight & more power which is want I want so I went with the hooker and Im very glad I did. plus its no that expensive and flows extremely well.

I went from the 80 series slowmaster to a 40 series with single outlet and it made mine much more street friendly after the H/C. But then I got tired of it not being as loud so I went with TDs and I love it!!!!

Thanks for the info, everybody. I agree that the GMMG with ORY sounds like glasspacks on an old fourwheel drive truck. And, yes I still have the GMMG on the car. I will probably sell it when I get another catback, but I am not taking it off for a week or two until I can afford another catback.
So the Magnaflow is raspy with an ORY, and the Hooker sounds good? How does the Hooker flow? Will it cost me HP on a pretty hot H/C car? How loud is the Hooker with an ORY, similar to a resonator Loudmouth with cats?
Thanks again.

Now I have the power and sound I want, and its there all the time. I can tell you that my setup will definately be too loud for your goals, but I think the Hooker will be what your looking for. Get a cutout for when your racing or at the track.
