There's a guy here who has a Loudmouth but he put a magnaflow bullet on it instead and that sounds really good. I've heard that system next to a magna catback and the catback sounds good but its too quiet IMO. I like my Hooker, for as cheap as it was the quality (other than the crappy claps,I replaced ,that come with it) was nice and it sounds nice and sounds good. I voted for the hooker, but I think the "Magna-Mouth" as we call it, is pretty sweet

I personally like stock with dual cutouts. I like being quiet when I need to be and LOUD when want to be plus its cheaper than buying a catback.

according to LS1sounds.com:
This test was performed by 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords Magazine, December 2002 issue (page 55) on a '90 Mustang LX coupe with 370hp and 11 second potential. 66 pulls were made for this comparison:


Hooker Maxflow, 80db at idle, 90db at 2,000 rpm, 120db at WOT.
Magnaflow, 82db at idle, 91 at 2,000 rpm, 114db at WOT.

There are a lot of video's on there as well as youtube. Search around for the sound you like. We can't tell you what YOU like.
