Default Hooker catback is the ****!!!!!!!

I just got it installed this morning, I was going to do it myself since it is real easy but i wanted it welded anyway so I figured I would have them do it. I sanded it and clear coated it like you all said, it looks great! I have Hooker LT's with a 3" off road y pipe with the new Hooker catback and it sounds f%^kin awesome <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" /> it has no rasp and has the coolest noise I have ever heard when it revs..... better than any cobra or mustang I have heard bye far! I recomend it o anyone. Thanks to Damian (Josh) and everyone else who "made" me get it <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> As for performance, I used to have my WS6 catback with a flowmaster welded in, it is way smoother and flows 100 times better up top. LOVE it thats all I can say <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

No I should have installed a cutout but I didn't have it at the time and was anxious to install it. It sounded CRAZY with no catback though, I imagine that is what I cutout sounds like?

Yes!! If you could post some sound clips that would be awesome. I'm getting Grot's with an ORP and I'm torn between getting the hooker and putting a bullet muffler in my Loudouth. Thanks!

why put a cutout when you can take off the muffler at the flange right before the muffler? i am thinking about this setup so i can just dump the muffler off at the track!

I'm lookin for a catback, gettin tired of the flowmaster sound/resonance, I don't know of anyone with one so I can hear it, but the price looks good.

I *think* you can hear a sound/video clip on LS1info.com...?
I picked up 22rwhp/19rwtq with just a Hooker catback & whisper lid - though most all catbacks will offer similar gains...

good luck,
Shane

congrats brendon I had a feeling you would like it, I really like mine as well the sound is very good and I switched from the LM to this cause the LM was getting louder and louder with each Mod and I need my car to be somewhat quiet.

I agree. I have not heard other LS1 cat-back systems but I do not see how they could sound any better. The Hooker is PERFECT with an ORP IMO so I am sure it would be good with headers also.

Damnit...All this talk is good and bad for me.
Good because i'll have my cb tuesday (hopefully)and I'm stoked to hear the beast growl, stock sound is good, it just needs to amplifed about four times <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

But bad because, once again, I won't get it until Tuesday, ah damn. <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0">

All of us Hooker owners told him!!!! It's about time! All those posts and now you know what we were all talking about. It is the best sounding catback IMO!
