Default anyone run hooker y pipe and hooker catback system?

i was looking on summit last night and it seems like it is now between the magnaflow kit and the hooker cat back system. i dont know many people that run complete hooker exhuast, i have a set of ceramic coated LTs and was wondering if anyone had any experience with the hooker cat backs/y pipe.

no experience with the catback, but the Y pipe seems to fit pretty well. Check the newest issue of GMHighTech magazine and they install the complete Hooker setup on a LS1 Formy.

i love it personally and i get compliments all the time. its great for crusing cuz there is minimal interior noise, but if you give it some gas, you will get looks from people, thats my favorite part.

The Hooker catback does have a nice rumble to it!

The Hooker catback is the all-around best catback on the market IMO, and flows excellent.

I'm going full hooker setup and Speed Inc has the best prices, the closest that came to their pricing was Texas speed which was only $20 more. Speed Inc will do free shipping. I made a spread sheet in excel to help me make a choice.
