Rumbler, LM or Hooker??? I'm trying to make a decision on a cat-backs guys, judging by LS1sounds I like the rumbler. But then again it is just video comparisons.....havent heard them in person. I really just want my car as loud as it can be! But at the same time I dont want it to sound crappy!!! If anyone has heard these in person, please give me your opinion! No one really talks much about the Rumbler on here, so just curious if anyone knows a bit more about it! -thanks guys!

I have the rumbler with stock manifolds and cats, and it's too quiet for my taste. I'm thinking about swapping out the bullet it comes with to a sweet thunder or just running without a muffler completely.

I picked the Rumbler out of those. Before that I had the Flowmaster catback, and it sounded good, but wasn't really loud enough. Now I don't know if I want to do a catted Y or catted duals when I get my headers.

In WA state right now, going back to CA eventually though..........so hopefully I can just run without a muffler and leave the Cats in the original place and be ok. Is it worth it to get Hi-Flow Cats or just leave the factory ones on?

I have a LM with manifolds and stock cats right now and it sounds great. Kinda like my friends 2000 vette with a Borla Stinger exhaust. I look foward to installing my H/C and LT's to hear them with my LM.

I just installed LT's and a ORY in front of my LM. My headers have been on there 3 days and 150miles. I'm going to my local auto parts store and ordering a Hooker Exhaust on Monday. It's way to loud for everyday driving. Of course I'm going to put a cutout on to.

California car laws must suck, I never had a problem with the LM on my 94 T/A w/no cats.

Alright heres a question for you guys........so the main "raspy" causing piece of the LM is the resonator, correct? So what if you replace that with something else like a bullet or sweet thunder??? .....oh and I dont care anymore, I'm in WA as of now.....and in the military, just keep it registered here in WA and get away with it in CA, sounds good to me! Shady *** ****!
