Default Exhaust? Long Tubes, No cats

I just read most of the threads in the external engine forum. Anyway, I am looking for a cat-back for my 1987 Trans AM with a LS1, Long Tubes, and NO cats. I havent had the change to listen to the vids (I am using dial up right now )

What system for LTs and NO cats?

I've heard and like both(Magnaflow & Hooker), but went with Hooker because of the price.
Can't go wrong either way.

I like Magnaflow's rumble a bit better. Designed to sound good with no cats more than others.

No cats? TDs if you can get away with it in your area. Other than that, I've heard hooker and ORY in person and it sounds great. Never heard magnaflow sorry.

I've got the Hooker catback and I think it sounds great. Pretty quiet until you hit the throttle...
