Talking New Cat Back

I have about 450 dollars for a new part for my stock 2000 camaro ss m6. I have a hole in m muffler and its beyond repairable. So I was thinking of putting on a new cat back. I was debating between slp's loudmouth and loudmouth 2. Which one is better?

they both suck- if you plan on modding it any furthur they will become annoyingly raspy. I would get a magnaflow or look into the GMMG.

Get a stainless exhaust system. The SLP 20TL is my favorite and then the dual dual. Nice deep tone, not overly loud.

heavy 6.0 is having a sale on Magnaflow and Hooker for under what you have to spend. Look at one of those two. Magnaflow is stainless (can't remember grade), hooker is not I don't think.

you should know what it sounds like bone stock if not I'll have a vid up soon but here

after the hooker catback only a little fine tuning on the pipes because it's a T/A

and after the headers


if your going low tone until WOT Hooker is great.
