Default Hooker exhaust

Hello all, newbie here. I want to put an exhaust system on my car. I already have the SLP upgraded exhaust (not the loudmouth) and want to put a system on that will give a better "sound check" to the "tone challenged". I dont think I will see any performance increases. So would it be better to buy a catback or just buy a hooker muffler if you can do that to make the sound better. I am looking for a sound increase in all areas but mostly at WOT. Anyone know of maybe something better than hooker for that job.

i think that the hooker exhaust is great. roars at wot, not too loud unless you remove your cats, but when you do you'll be noticed by people.

conduct a search on posts my me and you'll find plenty of hooker cat-back related posts.

If you do decide on the Hooker as I did, there's a group purchase going on until tommorow at Tbyrne Motorsports. Excellent pricing...just click on the Tbyrne banner in the list to the right to check it out.

Another vote for the hooker cat-back. But, if you have the factory SLP dual dual, I've heard that you can remove a plate or something in one of the pipes and it will sound better.

Hey Cham,

I went with an SLP Y-Pipe, and a Hooker Muffler on my '01 Z-28. The sound is nominal at normal traffic speeds, and cruising on the freeway. At Wide open throttle is does have a very pronounced note. By going with just the Hooker muffler I was able to keep the stock exhaust tips.

Just my 2 cents,
ZigZagZ
