Default exhaust change

im looking on changing my exhaust.

what would be better in sound with future mods of LTs and ORY.

the hooker muffler, the LM2, or keep the flowmaster.

the hooker i will just weld in place of the flowmaser... so id just need the muffler.

i saw an LT1 Z today with what i think was the loudmouth, and it sounded really good. it had a nice grunt to it.

also how much of a sound difference is there between the hooker aerochamber and the flowmaster 80.

I believe out of your choices, the hooker will sound the best.

LM2 i have it, it sounds awesome! and the lm2 isn't as loud as everone is talking about. I'm pretty sure they are talking about the lm1.

the LM2 is deeper than the LM1 right? because i want something deeper than the flowmaster. i think the hooker is deeper than it.

my best friend has a 95 lt1 with a flowmaster muffler and a cut out. i think thats the way to go. keep ur flowmaster and buy an electronic cutout. his car sounds deep with the cutout closed then it opens up and just sounds scary!! i will be doing a hooker muffler and a cutout when i get my lt's, but thats just becasue i got the muffler for free.

Do NOT keep the flowmaster with an ORY, it will sound like total ***.

I would definately recommend the Hooker, sounds excellent with an ORY and is nice and deep.
