Default Hooker

I plan on getting Hooker L/T Super Comp Headers in a week or so, but I dont know what kind of pipe to run. I was thinking about a ory (dont know what brand). A Hooker Cat-Back with a Flowmaster muffler. Ive considered putting a cut-out on the I pipe but not too sure. Im looking for more of a performance set up than something really loud. Is this a good set up and what else could I do than this. Thanks

Longtube headers and true duals through an x pipe would be a premier performance setup. then you wont really have to worry about the cut outs and what not that clutter up the exhaust and make for a clearance issue in the long run.

Also if you do go with a Hooker catback, do not swap it out with a Flomaster muffler. The Hooker is one of the highest flowing mufflers on the market.

+1 on not changing the hooker muffler for a flowmaster.i'm not a big fan of the true duals,i like my ls1 kinda quiet,i have 3" duals on my 550-575 hp 406 3rd gen and needless to say the noise is very loud.

i went with jet-hot because its the same price as hooker, but they took hookers design and made it a little better and they have the jet-hot coating.

i got the jet-hot headers, jet-hot y pipe, and a loudmouth (stainless) but i got a magnaflow to replace the loudmouth muffler.

the only problem is, i didnt put any of this on the car yet

do not buy the flowmaster exhaust, it just sucks, but its loud. the hooker flows very well, and if you ever add a cam, it will definatly liven up the sound.

I just love my hooker
