I have LT's and ORY pipe and I would like something a little more tamer. I love the way my Magnaflow sounds right now, but I don't like how everybody in a block radius can here me coming under normal driving...not to mention accelerating away from traffic lights. I can't moderately get on it w/o the guy next to me thinking "I am giving her hell" and then trying to race me...

I am looking for something a bit quieter and that doesn't have any rasp. My Magnaflow was very quiet before I put LT's and an ORY pipe on. I am looking into either the Hooker catback or the SLP dual-dual. I have heard that the Hooker is also a quieter catback, but from what I heard on LS1sounds.com it's very similar to my Magnaflow.

any advice?

Wow, I've never felt that my Magnaflow w/ LT's was loud at all. I thought it was one of the more tame exhaust I've heard.

But...I have also heard the Hooker is quieter and as you said, sounds a lot like the Magnaflow. See if you can find someone near you with a Hooker and LT's and that'll give you first hand experience. Good luck.

yeah, it's not really too loud, it's the rasp that sucks. Right around 2,500 rpm's there is quite a bit of rasp...even at moderate-light throttle. I guess it's just annoying as it sounds like all those numerous trucks running around where all you here is the exhaust as they S L O W L Y drive away....lol I don't mind loud exhaust, but not when I am hardly on the throttle.

you could always go back to a stock catback and put a cutout in it for when you want it loud and need a little extra power, from what ive read magnaflow is one of hte tamer exhausts out their, unless your go with the SLP duel duel system

if it's that bad for you, you need to put cats on. i had the hooker before magnaflow and yes, it's a bit tamer.... but nothing is 'quiet' with no cats

alot of people seem to have the idea that the magnaflow is a really quiet muffler. But when you have lts/ory, major 2k-3k rpm rasp/loudness!

my buddy went from a borla to a hooker catback with lt's and an ory.. it was obviously quieter than the borla, but it had its own distinct and unique sound to it.. go with the hooker catback, i think you'll really like it

I had magnaflow with ory before and a borla xr-1 muffler in the ipipe really took away that shitty rasp sound. Sounded 100% better and it actually made it sound deeper as well, more muscular.

I have a corsa on now and it was raspier than the magnaflow without cats so I put the borla back on and the rasp went away again. Sounds much better again as well.

If you get some high flow cats that would probably fix your problem

SLP dual dual - quieter than what you have and a deep sound, I love mine. flows well too.
stock catback - quiet but cackly (had this one too), very stealth
add cats - will solve your problem, also a bonus of reducing fume smell
add a bullet to the I pipe - will solve your noise issue cheaply

Those are all good options that will solve your problem IMO

thanks guys...I never thought about the bullet muffler. Which Borla XR-1 do you suggest? I see they have a "bullit" series, but it only comes in one size and is 2 1/2" in and out. I am pretty sure my Magnaflow I-pipe is 3".

If you want quiet, get the Hooker. Thats what I got & its very quiet if you stay out of it. But go WOT & it screams.

I would like to know this as well. I installed my longtubes and ory yesterday and it sounds terrible. I have a magnaflow catback as well. Tons of rasp and it sounds like an old truck.

Wow, Borla to Hooker... that's kind of a downgrade. I like my Borla, sure it rasps some, but you get that with LT/ORY + most cat backs. I think my fav part about the Borla though is that it came on the car and I didn't have to pay the huge ammount of money the damn thing costs.

SLP Dual/Dual is what i have, and it is by far the quietest aftermarket performance exhaust i've ever had!!! Well...With the quietness, it's a claimed performance exhaust??? I use the cut-out when needd though, so it's perfect for the wife ridin' with me, or open it up for some track duty and around town by myself

I used the round borla xr-1 sportsman series bullet muffler. It is # 40085 I believe.

It works just great. You might want to clearance it a little to make it fit good underneath but otherwise it is awesome if you have an ory.

You'll be fine going with either the SLP Dual Dual or just slapping on a bullet muffler to tame the sound a bit.
