Default Should i spend the $$$

I have a hooker cat back on my T/A. ITs no loud enough. I was thinking about putting a glass pack or some kind resornator where the muffler goes and dump it and have no tips untill i get LT's and ORY and then put my hooker back on. so what do all of you think? what could i get to put on it cheap?

What ive seen alot of people do is just take the catback off completly and just let the exhaust flow out of the Y pipe, that or you could get a cutout. Either of those are goin to be you cheapest best bet

I would say if you want loudness, just get a 3" cut out for 40 bucks at and put it on your the I pipe after the cats, or if you want louder get two cut outs and place them before your cats.

If he has stock manifolds it would be hard to put a cutout before the cats.

if you get a cutout you will have the best of both worlds and it more than likely will be the cheapest

+1 for the cutout, had mine installed and I love it! Just temporary though while I save for a complete exhaust setup.

If i get the cutout will it make a hissing sound after u rev it up. Because ill rev it up and when the RPM's drop it makes some sort of hissing sound it did this when took just the muffler off.

A Hooker for a Loudmouth seems like it might be almost the same....In a different sense other than exhaust.
