Which cat-back is better?
Which cat-back is better? I'm planning to start working on my exhaust system for my 02" trans am. For sure righ now I am going to get some Hooker super comp headers and the Y-pipe..but i am not sure which cat-back system to use? Here are some of my possibilities to choose from: Borla, Corsa, Magnaflow, Flowmaster, or SLP. I want a nice good sound and hp gain from the installation. Any suggestion on which system to choose.

10 Camaros You Should Never Buy
slp is the least expensive and the lm is by far the loudest, i hope you dont mind interior noise and drone
corsa sounds BEAUTIFUL but is costly especially with premium tips
i have corsa on my car and im VERY HAPPY...no drone when cruising, but when you get on it its very loud and you cant miss it, the idle is just plain mean too
check out www.ls1sounds.com to hear what different setups sound like
corsa is stainless steel as well as magnaflow
but it all depends on what you want
listen and decide

It all depends on your setup. if your running cats or no cats will change the sound of everything. flowmaster is junk (just the 80 series crossflow mufflers). magneflow sounds good with cats but is way to raspy without them. Hooker is quiet but with LT's and no cats it sounds good (just got it for my T/A). borla is $$$$$$ loudmouth sounds fu*ckin retarded with Lt's and no cats trust me. it sounds good on stock. I would put my money on corsa or hooker if it was my car.

You are gonna run longtube headers, so from your list I would have to say go with Corsa or Magnaflow. The Flowmaster is garbage (flows like 
), and the SLP and Borla can be loud, obnoxious, and un-refined with LT's.

Great sound just a little more $$
