need to swap out my SLP LM....SLP DD or Hooker??? I am just sick of the raspy-raw sound of GROTTYOHANN headers, 3 inch OR y-pipe, and a SLP Loudmouth. I don't need a stainless steel exhaust since the car only comes out in good weather. I like the SLP Performance Parts Dual Dual because it sounds good without cats and with headers, pretty much no rasp, BUT PRICEY! I haven't heard a HOOKER catback though. I have been told it sounds sweet with headers and without cats, plus you can drop the rear assembly(muffler/tailpipes)once you're at the track or a little HP gain and weight reduction too. Also, the Hooker is CHEAP $$$ TOO!
Did Corsa solve their welding issues with the mufflers yet? I know they had many issues with the mufflers falling apart internally when the catalytic converters are removed.

Re: need to swap out my SLP LM....SLP DD or Hooker??? I had an SLP DD. It was too quiet IMO. I'd vote for the Hooker over the DD.
Or, you could try replacing the LM resonator with a Dynomax Ultra-Flo welded race muffler or race bullet. That would reduce the rasp a lot. Also very cheap.

Re: need to swap out my SLP LM....SLP DD or Hooker??? I was in the same boat with my SS. My FLP/LM combo drove me nuckin' futs. I swapped it out for the SLP D/D. At idle it sounded barely louder than stock (very stealthy for street racing). But once it got above 3k, it opened up nicely. I was very happy with the sound...my only complaint was the addtional weight...the D/D is a HEAVY bitch.

Re: need to swap out my SLP LM....SLP DD or Hooker??? I was in the same boat with the LM, I went with the Hooker and love the tone. And yes you can drop it at the track in about 15 mins.

Re: need to swap out my SLP LM....SLP DD or Hooker??? you can also weld up 2 flowmaster one chambers right before the tail pipes. I did that last week and 95% of the rasp is gone.

Re: need to swap out my SLP LM....SLP DD or Hooker??? Yo, 14u2nv...I sent you a pm. I have a hooker catback you might be interested in. I'll sell it pretty cheap too. It'll sound badass with your setup.

Re: need to swap out my SLP LM....SLP DD or Hooker??? RPM WS6 is right! The SLP DD is too quiet. Thats what I have right now with LT's and no catz and I am quieter than my old setup with Borla, stock manifolds W/catz! I would suggest the Hooker catback.

Re: need to swap out my SLP LM....SLP DD or Hooker??? it's not too quiet with headers and an ORY. Dudes, read his post.
my OEM D/D is going BACK on the car after my cam/headers/ORY install...Glad I saved it

) and all but I don't want to get kicked off of the track when I go 
. In addtion, I still get rasp from time to time. I wonder if using the flows or magnoflow would work in my circumstance. And how much were they to install akaceril and kuruptedWS6!??

Re: need to swap out my SLP LM....SLP DD or Hooker??? cost me $60 per muffler and $20 per weld.
total $160. would have been more but I did most of the cutting.

Re: need to swap out my SLP LM....SLP DD or Hooker??? I'm deaf and with just the LM it's loud enough. I'm not particurally fond of the pitch--maybe that's it. Much perfer the LT1 sound...but don't we all?
