Hooker = affordable, good sound, good flow. I think Thunder has them for around $300.

if you really want an exhaust similar to a loudmouth II you could always get pipes welded in as a muffler delete(what a loudmouth does) and add a muffler before the pipe goes over the axle

Hooker is by far the best sounding catback in my opinion. its got a nice quiet idle, but a nice purr while cruising. and of course it will scream when u go wot. plus theyre only like 289 brand new. how can u beat that??

Hooker is cheaper, good flowing, decent tips. Magnaflow is highly polished, looks beautiful and is stainless for about 100.00 more. I have had a few catbacks, and am happy with my Magnaflow.

Stay away fron the flowmaster systems. I had one installed on my car by previous owner and its just to much interior noise. I don't know which one to tell you to get but I am going true duels when I get the Flowcrapper off.

Wow hooker the best sounding catback?! What ever happened to GMMG as the best sounding? Even though it's on the expensive side, I would look into GMMG for my next Trans Am.

White,

Just chill and wait for the exhaust. I waited for it, and I love it. Its a high quality exhaust, very easily installed, and it sounds good. Oh ontop of that, has anybody heard the LM2 with lt's and no cats??? My point exactly....F'n Incredible....

actually if you have a sound clip i would be more than happy to hear it. and btw i would wait for the LM2, the reason for the wait is that slp has recently raised its price 100 bucks and there was some discrepency with distribution according to my order status on ws6store.com. but think of it this way, its going to sound awsome on a stock car, and also you are getting it 100 cheaper than everyone else.

PLEASE if someone has LM2 with headers, please post a clip or something. ls1sounds doesnt have LM2 + headers. Thanks!
