DOH!

In the opinion of many here on the board, Hooker sounds good.

What sound characteristic are you looking for?

GMMG hans down!!! I installed it saturday and it sounds amazing. You can hear sound clips at their website GMMG Inc. . It is pretty pricy but well worth it for this amazing sound.

That's the exact setup that I currently have. Sounds real mean, but it's very loud. I'm gonna get rid of the bullet mufflers soon and so with some mufflers that will tone it down some more.

IMO the Loud Mouth sounds the best on the LS1.

Absolutely the best. NO QUESTION. I woulnd't mind if it were louder yet, though i'm sure a cam will help that FYI: IF only getting a catback the GMMG is nice, I liked my Loudmouth, or if you don't want it to be that loud the Hooker has a great tone.

LOUDMOUTH probabaly the most HP gain in a cat-back, and I think it sounds mean. If u want to get head turns go with the loudmouth!
