I hear great things about Hooker, and Magnaflow. But personally, I just went for the $30 cut-out. Sounds pretty decent, and it's only my temporary exhaust solution until I can afford LTs and TDs.

Hooker or Magnaflow aren't gonna sound the same as what you have now because they use a muffler, but I had the LM and now have the Magnaflow on my 99 T/A and I really like it.
