Magnaflow or Hooker catback? Ive got the basic bolt-ons right now; headers, ory, loudmouth. Ive been driving around with this setup for about a year and ive finally had enough. Im getting another car to drive around on weekends so this thing is going to be pulling straight DD duty and I'd like to make it as quiet as possible by changing the catback.
My choices are between Hooker and Magnaflow becuase theyre both relatively cheap and supposedly quiet. What I'd like to know is which one is quieter and which would you rather have on a daily driven car?
Also what id really like to see is some rear end shots of camaros to see what the exhausts will look like so post up your pics.

Magnaflow is more refined IMO. I had the mufflex setup with the 4" in/out Magnaflow muffler. It was quiet till you dropped the hammer on the throttle.
Here are some pictures of it. https://ls1tech.com/forums/staff-vehicles-showcase/621483-orangeapeel-s-99-s.html

If you spring for the new Magnaflow with the dual tips I vote for that, otherwise I like the Hooker better only because I don't like the single "cannon" tips of the original Magna.

Yeh I was going more towards the magnaflow since it is stainless steel. I might have to spring for cats if the rasp is going to be as rediculous as it is right now.
Anyone have any more pics? Im really insterested in seeing the hooker catback on a camaro because the few I've seen have looked like crap but I think they just didnt have the catback lined up right.
