Hooker vs. SLP catback
There was a guy that had a procharged SS with LT's, ORY, and LM1. The exhaust would pretty much make you deaf if you were behind the car or beside it at WOT.
Considering the MF is only about 50 or 60 bucks more than the Hooker, it's kind of a no brainer IMO.
I spent tons of money trying to find what I liked,,,LMII, twister pro flow (which does sound pretty good) but the hooker is tame unless you get on it,, has a nice deep tone,, I love it. Have had mine for about 4 yrs, no rust, or rattle,, just depends where you live and conditions its in day after day. It used to be the cheapest, but popularity went up-and so did the price....
I've heard all of the catbacks, and they all have their pro's and con's. I would and will always run Hi-Flo cats just for sound, it cuts out all the rasp, gives a deeper tone and doesnt lose as much power as what most think, just sounds awesome with them! I ran them on my LS1/IROC, heads/cam/nitrous with a borla catback, sounded amazing with the cutout open, deep and noticable but not obnoxious and super quiet with it closed. My buddy runs the same cats that i ran on his 03 cobra and dyno's 750rwhp. In contrast some people would rather not run cats, they prefer it louder.
Hooker sounds awesome but if i bought it i'd clean it real good and paint it with some high temp paint, put on 3-5 coats, this will prevent it from rusting out. Anytime you use aluminumized steel you need to paint it. OR buy stainless
magnaflow/slp. good luck!

I would opt for the hooker catback. Its a good sounding catback. the SLP loudmouth will be pretty loud, and raspy. Not really a clean, muscle sounding car. The hooker has a deep, rumble and more muscle sound to it.
