Wants something that won't hold back power much. I think a stock cat-back might be a little restrictive when the cutout is closed..

hooker ftw. i had mine installed before the headers and y pipe and at idle it was no louder than stock. WOT it sounds very very nice. with full exhaust it sounds kinda weird just around 2k, but once you get a little higher in rpms it just sounds awesome.

I did hooker, and an electric cutout. Perfect combo. Quiet/VERY nice sounding when I want it to be, and very loud when I want it to be. I love my setup.

I just ordered a Hooker CB and a PaceSetter Y pipe to replace my LM and TSP catted Y. I decided on the pacesetter Y because of the clearance it offers. Will it make it raspy? Over all though I am very excited to see how it sounds. I will get some pics of the clearance once its on. I think I wont even notice any rasp that I might have switching over from a LM, lol. Isnt a lot of rasp in the tune?
