exactly what I was thinking..I want something that has more tone and is more noticable over stock. I have heard Hooker's cat back was fairly quiet..

LM is raspy, if that's what you are going for. It definitely is also "loud".

I got the Borla; kind of pricey but sounds really throaty. When you get headers and ORY, the Borla is REALLY loud. Sounds really good.

I have borla on mine without headers and a y pipe and it sounds sick. I got a excessive noise ticket for it.

It was pricey but look at what u are getting Stainless steel exhaust, ajustable sound, and it looks twice as better than any other exhaust ive seen. Also ive heard loud mouth2 and i liked mine better it sounded deeper yet louder. I went borla and love it.

I hate the loudmouth when it comes to a cammed car. The hooker is quiet even with longtubes, and really wakes up with a cam
