catbacks If I were to say to you I want a cat back
1. thats has just a slight rumble at idle
2. little to no drone
3. when you nail it it clears its throat and sounds mean
4. has more of a deep mellow rumble than loud raspy one
This is going on a truck w/ a 5.3. I've looked at magnaflow, but they seem to be too raspy, stainless steel works chambered exhaust sound awsome, but I'm afriad it would be to loud if I decided to add mid/long tube headers down the road. Corsa sounds amazing but they seem too high pitched for me. I do like the hooker areo chamber muflers, but the lack of cat back turns me off becuase I don't know of any quality exhaust shop up here in maine. I think my big problem is that I'm too dang fussy... any help steering me in the right direction would be appreciated.. oh and I've spend way too much time at ls1sounds ... i still hear them in my head now...

I have the Hooker Cat back on my Camaro, and the Aero chamber muffler qualifies on all 4 of your requirements. However it is on my Camaro. I did have a 2000 Silverado Z71 and I had a custom Cat back with a Glasspack as the muffler. To be honest it sounded great and wasn't annoying at all. It did exit strait back with 2 Stainless Steel tips. What ever you decide should sound good though, hope I helped.

Yes and no
You reassured me that I want the hooker's, but now I have to worry about finding a good exhaust shop to make the system up for me

sounds like mine: catted macs into bullet muffler I had from my dynomouth, followed by a magnaflow 2OTL (custom of course) 18'' case. Plus a cutout for the track.
