Default Hooker Catback - Cool *** set-up
Well I got my Hooker Catback installed at lunch today, definately sounds better than before. I love how the muffler has a bolt on flange for the intermediate pipe, makes removing the system easy. It's just like everyone said, mellow at idle while having a deep throaty sound but at WOT it's loud as hell. It really brought my cam to life, before all you could hear was the metallic tick of the cam loping through the headers but now you can clearly hear the cam counting off through the rear. I definately recommend this
set-up, I was going to buy a magnaflow but for under $400.00 the Hooker system is a great buy. Just thought I'd share....

Very nice choice! That would be my next choice if I didn't have a Dual/Dual. Glad you're happy with it.

I love mine and they flow very well for a catback. If I live up north I would probably get the magnaflow because it is stainless steel.

My buddy has Hooker LTs and catback that he picked up from this site on his WS6. He loves it, and it sounds great! He has really noticed a nice wheel HP gain too!
