Default Which exhaust?

Hey guys, I know this sounds like a redundant question, but which exhaust should I go with, magnaflow or hooker? I like the fact that magnaflow is stainless steel. I saw the post that it flows better then hooker also, but which one do you guys think sounds better?

My Hooker cat back just came today. I plan on having it on by Saturday. I think its the best one for the price. Especially since it's on sale at Thunder right now

ive got just a magnaflow muffler for sale....

fully polished, less than 400 miles.

just replace the muffler or go true duals, cat backs are a waste.

My 12 year old son and I installed the Magnaflow catback on my car last Sunday.Total removal and installation took 1 hour.I could not beleive how much better the car sounded.Tuesday I waited for him to come home from school so we could go for a ride as the roads were kind of nasty on Sunday. This exhaust Kicks Butt!

I hear that the Hooker isn't really all that loud until you really get on it.....sounds pretty much the same as stock at idle and cruising speed....which could be a good thing or bad thing depending on what you like. I personally like the sound of my flowmaster....but yeah....we all know that other than that it stinks. I was thinking LM in the spring....but I don't know how much louder it would be than my flowmaster

i used to have the LM. it sounded sick and was decently loud. if you plan on getting LT's then stay away from it due to the massive amounts of rassssssssssssp.
