Hooker cat-back - way too loud! Should I go back to the stock GM cat-back? The Hooker muff is the worst mod I have ever done - way too loud for my taste after market w/ LT headers, cats and Y-pipe.
SLP dual-dual is no longer availible.
Where do you get a GM stock cat-back muffler?

Hooker is too loud? That is the first time that I have heard that one, esp. with cats! You could always add a bullit to the I pipe. The stock GM muffler would become the biggest restriction in your exhaust if you go that route, so I guess it comes down to performance vs. volume.
yea i have the hooker catback i think its VERY quiet... unless your rolling around at 2500+ rpms... this is crazy.
i have the stock exhaust from my formula in my garage if thats what your looking for, but the I pipe that goes over the axle was hacked up, i used a sawzaw to get it off, had no plans on ever putting it back on.
i'm still suprised at this!

Magnaflow is tame as well.
I don't think I have ever heard anyone complain about the hooker being to loud.

I think mine is really tame compared to others & I have LT's, ORY & H/C.

yea zactly, i have LT's, ORY, and the hooker c/b ... i feel its ALOT quieter than just my previous catback, altho that was the loudmouth... it was alot louder even with stock cats and manifolds.
i guess just keep your stock exhuast on there, i had LT's, ORY and my stock catback for about a week, it sounded stock to me... but i hated it. and i could really feel a difference after i put the hooker on there...
SLP Dual/Dual or add a magnaflow bullet muffler into the I-pipe as someone else suggested. SLP dual/dualcame on slp equiped vehicles from the factory. See if you can find one for sale in the for sale section. Otherwise, take off your headers and run stockers?
