Default Hooker LTs,Offroad Y, and Flowmaster

got a friend who is currently runnin Hooker long tubes with an offroad y-pipe through his stock muffler... and he opens the cut-out sometimes on his '02 SS(mostly stock)

and it sounds okay i guess but he has a Flowmaster and i know most people hate them but tell me this...

will his car sound pretty decent with the headers,ory, and a Flowmaster???
i know it wont flow well or gain any power but will it sound pretty good at cruise and half throtttle???

i told him to go Hooker cat back but he has the brand new Fowmaster he had already bought...

my buddy has the same setup on his Z and he has an A4 and I think it sounds ok, but it's still a flowmaster, I am an anti-flowmaster guy, everyone has them, be different man, get the Hooker, will sound a lot better then the blowmaster

my flowmaster catback sounds ok, im not too familiar with other mufflers, but once i do true duals i wanna get some spintechs, i think the ls1 can sound a lot better.

well my buddy got his Flowmaster put on along with fixin his exhaust leaks whcih helps out the sound a lot, doesnt have all that noise from underneath the car.

in the end, it sounds okay, a little raspy, but its cool,
just needs a cam to make it sound aggressive

im thinkin of goin the Hooker route with LTs and ORY btu i wanna hear on goin down the road and not just behind it...ls1sounds has some good clips but none in motion...
will Hooker be louder than the Flow???

It sounded a little raspy at times. And for some reason after I installed my cam...70 percent of the rasp went away I also have a 6 speed, which gives you the ability to cut down on the rasp. It will rasp a tad around 2-3k when cold. But after its warmed up I get almost no rasp. Unless I slightly lug the car...say If im in 3rd and should be in second and give it more than half throttle.

I think it sounds ok when cruising...and I love it at WOT

Im going with true duals mostly to pick up a few ponies. But just on the way it sounds currently...I would give it a 7 out of 10
