Default Hooker Or Rumbler?

OK guys I just went from an ory to a catted y (sounds way better) now I can't decide wich muffler to get. I have blowmaster now but I'm thinking of either hooker or tsp rumbler. I want good sounding/flowing muffler to compensate for the catts. What do you guys think? I'll let you decide for me.

Dont let anyone decide for you, try to listen to a car with both of them....you can go to ls1sounds.com and listen to both. What you like and what someone else likes might not always be the same.

Hookers are pretty quiet, and Rumblers are pretty loud.

Yeah, what mike said. I am going from a Catted Y loudmouth because its too loud/raspy for my taste....to a Hooker/Pacesetter ORY because it is suppost to be the quiet but free flowing and good sounding setup. This is also with LTs.

the rumbler has a very old school muscle car sound to it....and im sure its amplified by long tubes and the aftermarket Y pipe......alot of my friends expect to see a mustang ( i know i know) when they hear my car...i take that as a compliment because the mod motors sound BA with a good exhaust setup

Eh that's a matter of opinion and I don't agree with it. I'd go with hooker as you're running LTs but as some of the others said - listen to similar setups and make up your mind based on that.
