It looks like I'm gonna try and go with a cutout like a few have suggested, and look around for a dual/dual muffler at least. I would spend the cash but, PD isn't paying for this...they just demanded it be more quiet I would call SLP but, I have been pretty pissed with them as of late. My Ultra-Z hood has started to crack all around the underside of the hood around the airbox area. I called them and was sent to a voicemail box. That was 2 weeks ago...I've called several times and keep getting shoved into voicemail. No one calls back !!

I can tell ya this, " I will not purchase a darn thing from them until they improve their customer service." It used to be great. I had several folks I used to talk to up there and I thought that even though they had a little higher prices, their products were cool. Now, I am not sure about them.

Ok, that was off topic....but I don't wanna pitch the money to them for the muffler until I exhaust (funny huh...) the chance of finding a used one.

Hey Kev!

I had the dual/dual as an SLP installed option on my SS...it is a very nice sounding exhaust...it flows really well, it was just too mellow for my tastes...it sounds like it would be ideal for your application. It's pricey new, but if you watch the classifieds, you can pick them up fairly reasonable...If I remember correctly, I got about $125 for mine a couple years ago...

Wow, even the police get bothered about exhaust noise. It's a V8, it's meant to be loud.

Ditto on the SLP dual/dual, just not through SLP.

Wow, the police car has to be quieted down. I never would have thought.....

The Hooker shouldn't be very loud to begin with, but if they want quieter the SLP dual/dual is the way to go.

SLP has a bad rep for more than one reason.

How about trades. Awhile back somebody locally traded their loud mouth for a dual/dual, i think it was a cashless even trade too.

I'm sure somebody around here has a dual/dual looking for something a little louder like a hooker.
