Default flowmaster vs. hooker

All I am really looking for is some imput on these two catback systems. Pretty much which one sounds the best and more power. I havnt heard either except for whats online, and I just want to know which would be my wisest choice. I am eventually going to replace the whole exhaust sooner or later, but for now I need to hear myself when I open it up. Thanks alot.

Hooker: One of the best flowing, although one of the quieter catbacks available for fbody's.

Flowmaster: Sounds good, but 80 series crossflow muffler in this catback flows like poo and is barely better than stock.

If you want a mean sounding exhaust when you need it (WOT), go with Hooker. I absolutely love mine. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I have it ordered and on the way (Hooker). I had heard from some people that flowmaster was awesome, and on the flip side that didn't flow very well. I figured I would get the best response here. Thanks alot for the advice.

I'm not going to lie...it is louder than I thought. Cruising is def. louder than stock. I think I might fall in love once I get LTs and an ORY.
