Need fast responses!!!! I'm really liking the sound of the TSP Rumbler cat-back. I think I'm going to order it tonight before i go to sleep. My SS has the stock exhaust, but I think SLP put 3 inch pipes from the y back. That correct?
If so, should I get something like a Hooker muffler (like the sound of it too)and use existing pipes? Or go with the TSP? Money is not really the concern, but who wouldn't mind saving a couple hundred bucks for something else?
BTW I'll be ordering headers and a Y tonight also.

I would say make your choice by the sound you want. The hooker and the tsp will sound TOTALLY different. If you are getting lt's without cats, my vote would be for the hooker. The tsp would be too raspy with that combo. If you like a loud exhaust and you are going to get cats, then get the tsp. Also, you might want to check your I-pipe. I think it is 2.75" on your car like the non ss's.
Pacesetter lts ory and hooker here and love it. I have had tsp tds and Magnaflow and the hooker by far was the cleanest sounding to me. The tds are great but a little loud for me plus if you are lowered you might have a problem.

I know you are not asking for this input, but you stated that money wasn't a concern. Get true duals with your LT's. I sold my catback and total cost including that was less than $500 for the LT's, true duals and installation. The sound is absolutely amazing. 
I heard it for the first time today outside of the car and I'm telling you, it is unlike anything. True, it is loud, but that is a subjective word. I've heard a lot of catbacks, and they don't come close the TD's IMO. I'm as happy as a puppy with two peters! SOTP gain was very noticeable and I have already had three people ask me why my car sounds so good. I've only had this setup since Friday afternoon. Sorry it is not a response to the question you asked, but I feel that I have to let a fellow F-body owner know that TD's are certainly worth considering. And probably just as cheap if not cheaper than ORY/Catback.

Good choice to go with the Hooker. I've seen 2 cars with the Hooker Aerochamber dyno open v. closed cutout. One was a P1SC car and the other was a cam only car. Both cars dynoed within 1 rwhp of open v. closed cutout with the Hooker. I'd like to see that same comparison with any other catback. And a Hooker v. true duals rwhp comparison.
