Default Should i spend the $$$

I have a hooker cat back on my T/A. ITs no loud enough. I was thinking about putting a glass pack or some kind resornator where the muffler goes and dump it and have no tips untill i get LT's and ORY and then put my hooker back on. so what do all of you think? what could i get to put on it cheap?

What ive seen alot of people do is just take the catback off completly and just let the exhaust flow out of the Y pipe, that or you could get a cutout. Either of those are goin to be you cheapest best bet

I would say if you want loudness, just get a 3" cut out for 40 bucks at and put it on your the I pipe after the cats, or if you want louder get two cut outs and place them before your cats.

If he has stock manifolds it would be hard to put a cutout before the cats.

if you get a cutout you will have the best of both worlds and it more than likely will be the cheapest

+1 for the cutout, had mine installed and I love it! Just temporary though while I save for a complete exhaust setup.

If i get the cutout will it make a hissing sound after u rev it up. Because ill rev it up and when the RPM's drop it makes some sort of hissing sound it did this when took just the muffler off.

It didn't make any kind of noise besides the exhaust sound because i took off my hooker muffler and it made a werd sound after i reved it and when im slowing down. when the rpm's droped it made a werd sound

A Hooker for a Loudmouth seems like it might be almost the same....In a different sense other than exhaust.
