Default High Flowing Quiet Catback

After a week without running a Y pipe or muffler ive decided i need the flow of a catback without the loud noise. Im thinking of borla or corsa catback systems but any suggestions on a good catback thats relativley quiet would be helpful

Another vote for the Magnaflow... it flows as well as a comparable 3" cutout and sounds muscular.

Fact is, catbacks are very subjective to personal preference. You may like the sound while other's hate it. I hate the borla sound, but other's love it.

I have SLP lt's, ory and magnaflow and it is LOUD. My bud has the SLP dual/dual and it is quiet. It isnt much louder than the stock catback. Not sure how well it flows but it dosent have the bark like Magnaflow. My x-girlfriend has lt's, high flow converters and borla and it is quietier than mine, gets loud at wide open throttle but not near as loud as the magnaflow.

You need the Hooker based on what you say you like. I have the Hooker on mine and wish I would have gotten something else because its too quiet. I have longtubes and an ORY.

I'd say it sounds like you are looking for the SLP dual/dual. This is quiet and flows pretty well. I have the magnaflow and once it breaks in gets pretty loud.

I'd recommend looking into the SLP Dual/Dual. Mine was factory installed, and is VERY quiet, even with the headers, ORY, and cam. Also, I only lost 5rwhp going from open cutout to through-the-exhaust the way the car is set up now.
