Default Hooker Catback+Headers

Anyone have any clips with or without cats..I want to get some headers but I am worried it will destroy the nice low deep tone and make it loud and raspy. I will use cats.

The Hooker catback is by far one of the BEST sounding exhaust systems available for the LS1, and with headers it gets even better.....

I've had 7 catbacks on my car, and i've stuck with this one for over 2 yrs. It's the only catback i'll ever run again..

I'm going to try and get a few sound clips this weekend. If I do, I'll post 'em.
My setup is MACS, ORY, Hooker cat-back w/ 12" bullet muffler in the I-pipe.

I put the bullet in there to help prevent pissing off the neighbors and to keep a lower profile on the street. The hooker didn't really rasp much without it. (unlike my SLP 2OTL)

With the cats, you shouldn't have any rasp.

I have the Hooker Headers, offroad Ypipe and Hooker Catback. I just sold the Hooker Headers for some Kooks. Mine does have some Rasp, but not a ton. I have a cam too, and its hard to even hear the cam at idle my car is so quiet. Get around 2K RPMs and you can tell its a muscle car, Go WOT and the Hooker set up SCREAMED!!! I love it, and, the headers, ypipe and catback cost me under 1,000.00 dollars. Unlike most systems out there.

I will most likely get the idle and maybe a few revs. I'm not yet sure how to make a recording while driving.

Ok, here's my first attempt. It was about 10 feet from the back of the car, level with the exhaust pipe. I think it overpowered the speaker in the camera, not sure. I'll do it again with the camera further back if you need.

Exhaust clip.
