I love my magnaflow, my car is cammed and I have Hooker LT's !cats and Magna Flow, it sounds great, not too loud on idle but as soon as you get on it, u get all the loundness you need.

I highly recomend it if you're not a big fan of loudness.

GMMG sounds amazing with LT's and cats or no cats. I honestly dont think you can go wrong with any catback (except dont get SLP Loudmouth if your not running cats) because LT1's sound amazing with pretty much any catback especially when your running LT's.

if you dont want a car thats crazy loud but will really bark when WOT my vote goes out for hooker catback with LTs and no cat it sounds amazing and is quiet enough where you wont draw too much unwanted attention

I've got LT's, ORY and a Hooker cat-back and love the sound, and constantly get comments on how it differentiates from every other car in the area who runs along with an exhaust cutout open all the time. even sounds good with the comp 503 cam

The thing with an LT1 is, it is really hard to make one sound bad, its a good sounding engine through prety much any cat back. I run a set of Hooker LTs, Off Road Y with no cats, and an open Borla. I have been told many times it sounds good and mean as hell at WOT. I actually had it blocked off and I liked the way it sounded then too.

that is true, makes a even better point for the TSP Rumbler 200 bucks and great sound is a hell of a lot better than 450+ for great sound

I paid 110$ for my coated Hooker LTs used, then $350 for a stainless Y and a complete Borla that looked friggin brand new, just had dust on it from sitting in a storage unit. Then i think i spent like 130$ getting the Y modded to fit, all in all, my install was prety low budget hunting.
