Default New Catback..

So I have SW Longtubes with Catco Cats in the y-pipe through the stock SLP D/D. I love the tone, just wish it was louder. Anyone have any suggestions which catbacks I could look at? I don't want deafening loud, but it could definitely be noisier.

I loved my SLP dual/dual. I wouldn't change it for anything if I were you. Just throw a cutout in the I-Pipe and you can be louder when you want. Outside the car the SLP dual/dual sounds amazing. I to thought it was far too quiet inside the car, however once I heard it on video, I loved it.

If you insist on something louder and the cutout is not the route you want to go I would suggest the Hooker catback, although it isn't stainless. My pops has Borla on his full exhaust 98 SS and it sounds awesome, but Borla is too expensive for me.

Of course there are tons of other options that would sound great, Corsa, Magnaflow(pretty tame), GMMG(pretty loud), etc. I would look for videos and try to listen to other setups in person. Good luck.

I really like my setup and I dont think its that loud. Alot of people hate on the lm systems because they only hear them with the off road pipes. I vote either lm1 or cut out.

I'll trade you muffler for muffler for my Magnaflow. It'll be a little louder (and not deafening) than your dual/dual. Just throwing it out there. I'm looking for a dual/dual. PM me if you might be interested. Thanks.

I just got done putting on an SLP Dual Dual on my factory manifolds and cats for when I get my long tubes installed this month since I don't want it deafening loud like you. But after seeing videos I think I'd rather have a magna flow catback then my dual dual
