1.) Not sure who the young lady in your sig is, but she's definitely attractive....

2.) Hooker here, and I like it, sounds good, though not too obnoxious around town. It still wakes up under load though...

Well, it's GM but I have on the Z06 titanium system. No resonance with headers like a lot of aftermarket, quiet in normal driving and barks good when you get on it. Also almost 17 lbs lighter than stock and even light then a lot of other aftermarket systems.

well I don't see your list of which not to review, so I'll tell you I think my borla catback sounds just about perfect...though the inspectors at least complain about it every year, so I guess it's a little loud, but I love it. Especially with my m6.

Hooker catback:

Quiet with stock headers.
Wakes up but still quiet with Catted-Y and LT's.
Wakes up with ORY and LT's.
Sounds great with Catted-Y, LT's, and cam.

Borla Adjustable

*stainless steel
*adjustable
*sexy tips

I run an open plate through LT's and ORY and will soon have a heads/cam and will be keeping it an open plate

I think the sound is just spectacular it growls at all rpm's and unleashes all hell at WOT

if its to loud for you then just put in a smaller plate

I like my Borla alot as well. Sounded great when my car was pretty much stock. Now with the engine work and the LT w/ ORY it really does sound like a machine gun fireing in a metal trash can. I dig it!

I like my Hooker c.b. It's quite quiet at idle with empty cats and stock manifolds, but sounds badass at higher RPM's. I ran on dynojet at the local carshow last year and it sounded very mean from inside the car!
