Default hooker or TSP rumbler with Lontubes???

I am down to these two catbacks. Hooker or TSP Rumbler. I will have longtubes and offroad y this spring. I think, but am not sure, that the rumbler will be raspy with the y pipe...true? But I don't know, is the hooker really that quiet?? I don't want to be that quiet, I want my car to be heard, but sound good at the same time. I am between these two because I need a catback quick, I cant take the stock sound anymore...way too quiet... I might switch over to true duals way in the future, so don't suggest those now. Just between those two which would you choose???

Please go with the Hooker if you're gonna do ORY. I had the Rumbler, and that thing was raspy as all hell with my ORY.

There's a clip of it at idle in my sig. There's also 2 others over at www.ls1sounds.com of me reving it and what not..

Coming from an ex-Rumbler owner, go with the Hooker.

Thanks, that is what I am leaning towards. It's not too quiet is it (Hooker)?

That's good enough for me. I figure it will be plenty loud with longtubes offroad y-pipe, I hope it will compliment my cam, once I get it.

i got rid of true duals dumped with bullets for the hooker catback. At idle even with lt's and ory pipe, it is still barely louder than stock. but its the higher rpm sound that makes this catback. WOT is absolutely wicked. It has tone, its pretty damn loud, and with a cam, the damn thing is bliss honestly. Only other catback id take over it is the GMMG and that would only happen if i won the lottery lol.

I have pacesetter lt's and ory with the hooker catback. I have a 224/228 cam on a 114 lsa and it sounds great. you can barely tell i have a cam at idle. step on it though, and it will make even the prissiest of women **** their pants.

best thing about it, inside the car you can barely hear it, no drone, no rasp, but i have heard that with ory pipes it can be slightly rapsy so if you are sensative to that, be careful.

With no cats on it, the hooker will sound so nice. First had with this one.
