lookin' for a good cat-back system
Re: lookin' for a good cat-back system My opinion MagnaFlow is the best sounding system I know of. All stainless and way cheaper than Borla. We have them in stock give me a call.

Re: lookin' for a good cat-back system Yeah the Hooker cat-back does have a nice sharp tone at WOT, but keep in mind you should really try and hear some different set-ups in person if possible before you buy.
My friend has the Hooker on his mostly stock '99 Formula, and wow is it quiet at idle and cruise(almost like stock, but only deeper in tone). To me, it's only noticeable at full throttle. So while it has a nice tone, it is way too quiet for me(hence the reason you should try and hear them in person first so you know what your getting).
BTW, the Borla(except for using the full block-off plate) is a lot louder than the Hooker...

Re: lookin' for a good cat-back system In my opinion the SLP Dual Dual (aftermarket add-on, not the factory installed option) is one of the best exhausts out there. Corsa is also a great one too. The hooker is a good exhaust for the money and you can drop the muffler/tailpipes at the track for some weight savings. Borla is ok but heavy. I only put it on my 98 Z28 because I already had it from my 99 SS, but I wouldn't buy another one.

Re: lookin' for a good cat-back system I had the hooker and it did sound way better than my stock setup and the loudmouth. If I had to choose another I would probably get the magnaflow cause everybody seems to like it.

Re: lookin' for a good cat-back system
Magnaflow is okay, but I think the Hooker sounds better, and you can't beat the price.
