Default Help Me Pick My Exhaust!!

I know I know its up to me but I like to get others opinions. I got rid of my magnaflow cause I didnt like the sound. Then I built true duals and they sounded insane just too loud and vibrated the **** out of everything so I got rid of those too. Now I am stuck without exhaust. I am in the process (almost finished) installing a cam. I was deciding between buying a hooker cat-back. Or buying the dyno max i-pipe and over the axle pipe from summit an buying a spintech replacement muffler off ebay and fabbing up the tail pipes off the mufflers and get some corsa like tips. Im open to all suggestions. PLEASE HELP. O yea and I would like to spend less than $400

i think the hooker catback isnt much more louder than the magnaflow. im happy with my magnaflow. the only exhaust i would probably switch it for would be corsa and maybe loudmouth!!

I love the sound of the hooker catback,relatively quiet and deep until you step on it. Has a very toned sound to it, i have heard them on ls1's online and think its the best sounding catback of them all, makes an ls1 have respectable tone to it, and gets rid of the rasp the ls1 is famous for. Never heard a spintech muffler but have heard nothing but good things about them.

My buddy had the 4" spintech system on his ss it sounded insane good but I would be getting the 3" one I wonder if there is much difference in sound.

I'd say go for the spintech, i don't think the system your going to setup will not cost much more than the hooker catback, and i think it will sound as good or better also.

I have had Flowmaster, Borla and Corsa catbacks and my Corsa is the best in my opion, and really like and the car sounds and pulls harder by the seat of the pants. I vote Corsa.

BORLA its just nasty and you can ajust the tone with swapping the plates I have it and wouldnt trade the sound for anything. Trust me just look into it.

If you want to spend less than $400 get the Hooker. If you don't mind spending a little (lot) more, get the Borla.

My friend had the same setup, probably one of the best sounding LS1's I have heard. But I have read that the Spintech's design could hold you back from some power.

B&B sounds refined and still gives an awesome muscular sound....No regrets since I've had it installed.
