All of these exhaust were behind LT's and ORY with heads/VRX5 cam.
I agree. The Hooker catback does sound good. GMMG with longtubes and ory aint far behind the LM1 in terms of trashy sounding and rasp in my opinion. Only thing is the Hooker is gonna give up some power. One of my buddies opened his cutout and picked up 15hp over the hooker.

That was only specific to the Sweet Thunders. The ID of the MagnaPack is perforated with no protrusions, so you can install it any way you like.

You will also be able to remove the DM Bullet once the Y merge is replaced.
Perfect example of not believing everything one reads online.

So you have first hand experience? I'm betting I've owned and build more cars than you.

Matter o fact jack, I own more cars currently than you've ever owned.....I even posted the same statement for a local **** talker even PM'D my address for him to come ooooo and ahhhh over. Unfortunately never had a response.

I love chest beaters who see a name and say ol it's the best.......not.

I'm telling you I vowed to never use another ARH on a Corvette after two separate issues with C5 z06's

When I bought this fuggin children's car to play with a friend gave me an ARH Y. It droned so bad, I cut it off and welded in a Vibrant in its place and the drone was gone.

You prove why foolishness exist. I'm speaking from 3 real world experiences, not mumbo jumbo sport!

That's a great looking exhaust!

Sorry but up until your latest post your input didn't show any hard facts about your experiences with different brands mentioned.

It just seemed very biased to your own opinion.

I'm not really here to argue anyone.
Just realized this was a old thread ,so will let it die here.

To be honest when the op originally posted about this topic I was working through the same problem.

My car had the ARH Y on it, and it was terrible at some certain rpm 2900ish?

I removed the Y pipe cut off their merge, fabbed a Vibrant Performance on and the raspy ting was gone.

One thing I will say is the car had an SLP LM1, that exhaust was horrid loud with 11.5:1 and a medium sized cam.

If you would like to discuss something more feel free. My original post was kind of quick and to the point, as I was most likely in a hurry while responding.

You want to talk high quality exhaust that never get the recognition they deserve, it's SW/Stainless Works. Fitment on 3 sets of their exhaust have been spot on cherry.

I may be a newer member to ls1tech, but been around the CF, Turbo Buick, and ZR1.net for 15 years. So I'm not here to sling around BS
