Hooker catback or Magnaflow catback? Which will flow better and have the deeper rumble?
P.S. Will I see any dyno gains by swaping out my SLP PP dual/dual for either of these two catbacks?

Re: Hooker catback or Magnaflow catback? Manaflow is deaper, but if yor getting headers, go with hooker. Keep in mind that magnaflow looks better, and flows practicly the same as Hooker, if not better.

Re: Hooker catback or Magnaflow catback? I doubt you'll see any more power with either system, but I personally like the sound of my Hooker system. It's not real loud at idle, but sounds tough above idle - especially around 2000+ RPM's. No rasp or obnoxious noise at all. My other exhaust consists of stock manifolds, SLP y-pipe, empty cats. Found mine on Ebay for $300 shipped, from Malibu Performance in San Antonio. I wasn't real impressed with the installation hardware in the kit though. 
Re: Hooker catback or Magnaflow catback? I have the complete hooker system and in my opinion nothing seems to compare. Flows really well and has the deep rumble that you can't get enough of.
Re: Hooker catback or Magnaflow catback? I find myself constantly going out for quick spins just to hear my own exhaust. I've yet to hear it from the outside, but man my Hooker CB really screams when you get on it. Turns heads going down main street and I get a ton of comments on it. You really can't go wrong with either, I bought my Hooker for 265 from Thunder Racing when they had a sale on them. Install took about 3 hours, including aligning the tips, pizza, and a test drive.

Re: Hooker catback or Magnaflow catback? Thanks for the responese. Would it be possible to switch out SLP dual/dual muffler for a hooker muffler, or would there be fitment issues?
Re: Hooker catback or Magnaflow catback? You would have Hella fitment issues because the Hooker muffler comes with flanges. I love my Hooker exhaust. Jet Hot LT's same as Hookers only thing difference is the placement of the O2 bung. Sounded quieter then stock at idle but if you got into it... mean as hell. With the long tubes and no cats its is kinda quiet normal driving, but when you get on it.... it scares people. I love it. I was told the other day by a fellow F-Body that it was the best sounding exhaust he has ever heard. Bought mine from thunder for $259 also.
Re: Hooker catback or Magnaflow catback? I really like the sound of hooker catbacks also, anytime someone comes into the shop for a nice sounding catback I reccommend the hooker

Re: Hooker catback or Magnaflow catback? I love the sound of my Hooker catback. I want headers and ORY to make it a bit louder, but the tone is great, nice and deep. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it.
