Well your question is a very subjective one to begin with. Every person will have their own taste in catbacks for certain reasons: some like loud, others like quiet, some like rasp, others like it smooth, some care about performance and flow, etc.
You say that you have the Hooker with LTs and ORY and you think it's quiet? I have LTs and an ORY with Magnaflow and I think it's actually fairly loud (it's VERY loud at WOT). I'm actually looking to tone mine down and make it a bit smoother, so I'm going with SLP's 2OTL exhaust. If you want something louder than you currently have, you might look into something like GMMG, but be aware that it will have tons of rasp in it. Even more so would be Borla or SLP's Loudmouth, but in my opinion those both sound terrible with LTs and ORY. They're simply too loud, raw, and raspy. But pretty much anything else besides those options will be quieter or just barely louder.
Your last option is true duals, which are pretty cheap to do once you already have headers. There are plenty of ways to set them up and get different tones out of them, so you might want to do some research and try ls1sounds.com to get a feel for what you really want.

yeh, if ur going with wth headers/y-pipe, at least get some cats on there. WIth my stroker, the exhaust is really loud!! I heard my car from two blocks away when it was getting tested....
In one hand, that rocks, but for the street, it may cause unwanted attention....... Im really considering going with a chambered muffler in the i-pipe, replacing the reso, but i havent picked out which one will give the deepest, rumble....
personally, stay away from the mufflex, its not worth it, the magnaflow is nice and i also like the flowmaster, despite wat some might say, its got a nice low rumble to it. And if you wish, try looking at some true dual setups, they will sound deep and loud, domething im considering but wont yet because i would like to keep the y-pipe for a while....
good luck
