Default Hooker Exhaust Installed (vid & pic)

So I recently purchased an A4 2002 Camaro SS for my wife as an early b-day gift. It is immaculate factory stock and only has 68K miles. First mod she wanted was an exhaust, so I purchased a Hooker exhaust which will compliment her future new mods (MS3, 243 heads, Hooker LTs, Vig3200). I took video of the stock exhaust and then the next day with the newly added Hooker exhaust. You can't really tell the difference stock wise, but I know once LT are added the tone will be much improved. She didn't like the Hooker tips, and I wanted to try angle cutting them to see how they looked. I had them angle cut at work to 30 degrees, I think they came out great. Now I just need to trim the exhaust pipes to have the tips tuck under the rear bumper to finish off the look. So enjoy the pics and comparison video.

I know this is an old thread, but...

I had the Hooker catback on my '91 RS...damn 305TBI...with an ory, and it was friggin' LOUD! I added the same catback to my 88 GTA with a cat, and it wasn't nearly as loud or aggressive. Get your wife an ORY!!! It makes a WORLD of difference.

Man, that sounds awful loud for a stock exhaust. The stock system on my 01 is MUCH quieter. Maybe because yours is an SS. Your Hooker isn't any louder, but it is deeper. It has a nice tone.
