Default quick question

i got a loudmouth right now and i'm looking to quiet exhast (i dont want to..."other" people do). so i got a few choices, but ive narrowed it down to a few i like. any info on performance gains on one catback over the others i list would be appreciated. corsa, hooker, mufflex w/ spintech, or edelbrock. if anyone has any information on the loudness of each exhast, that would also be great. (scale of 1-10 1 being stock, 10 being loudmouth at WOT). thanks so much for any help. pics of these systems on your cars would also be great, as you can never have to many angles to see a product from! thanks again guys.

havent had personal experience w/ hooker or corsa but i hear from others that Hooker sounds really great and ive heard one in person and Corsa is quite badass from sound clips ive heard if you dont mind spending the dough.
Hooker from the one ive head on an 00 Z28 6sp w/ LTs and ory was sweet 8 outta 10 on that one. It was loud and deep. Havent heard a corsa on an f-body in person though.
jus my .02cents
BTW, i know you dont wanna do what others have done w/ the LM but i had one w/ a proflo twister muffler on my old 99Z a4 and i loved it
Its now on my LT1 and sounds even better on that one.

omg dude you have such a badass car! jesus 844 rwhp, how do you control it? lol thanks for the reply. i'm going to keep the cats and get some shorties, so does that make a difference to which i should get. i kind of like the sleeper look of the mufflex, but i dunno how loud it is.

if ur keepin cats and using shorties then the LM should sound just fine but if you dont like it id reccommend the hooker.
Thanks for the comments on the SS. I dunno how it drives cuz i havent gotten it back yet, photo shoot for GMHTP keeps getting postponed otherwise i would've gotten back in March. Supposed to get it June 8th or 9th God i hope so!!!

Magnaflow has a reputation for being quite tame at idle and mild during normal cruise, but still sounding monsterous at WOT. But then again when a guy with an 850 RWHP street car suggests something to you, you should probably atleast look into it.
