My GMMG catback is one of my favorite mods that i've done. That being said i still have cats and stock manifolds. May be a bit raspy if you go with an off road y pipe. The fit and finish were excellent and i installed it just using 2 jack stands.

I love my hooker catback. It was also a super good deal.
Here is a vid of my car with full exhaust. Lpp headers an off road Y with a hooker catback.

Hooker is too quiet IMO, but great for inspection time!
OBX headers and Y pipe are 10x better than stock ground clearance. Mated to a 3" dynoax bullet and dump pipe over the axle, I love my setup. No dragging and lots of rasp.
Wish I had true duals. I wish we could trade cars for the day.

My Hooker with LT's and cats. Without cats it'd probably be a good bit louder, but still loud at WOT with them. Even at idle has a good growl.

that sounds like a good idea they did my true duals pretty cheap now i know why tried fixing the rubbing myself it was the bolt from the seatbelt mount hitting the exhaust ended up just making alot of noise cant grind a steel bolt down haha im looking into getting longtubes so when i put those in time for some changing on the exhaust by a different shop learn to do it right the first time next time around

I have Pacesetter LT's, Pacesetter Y pipe, and a full 3" Magnaflow catback to CME tips/valance. I've got a 383 LT1 so I can't say how it would compare in sound, but I love it on my car and the quality is great.

I honestly don't know why people ask these questions anymore. You will get 20 different answers all saying theirs is the best. Just go to ls1sounds.com and listen to what see what you like best. If possible find someone near you and listen in person because it will sound different.
