Im having trouble picking what cat back exhaust. for my girlfriends 97Z28. we both like magnaflow and the hooker, and i kind of like the TSP rumbler. wich of the 3 do you guys think would be best. Sound is most important. but performance is a close second. any info or ideas would be helpful. thanks

thats not a question we can answer for you really.

they all sound and perform great.

my personal choice would be the magnaflow...had it on 2 cars...loved it.

Tough call, I like the sound of the Hooker, but the quality of the Magnaflow is amazing for what it costs.

I wasn't "smart enough" to buy a cat-back system but I did however buy a Hooker Aerochamber muffler and I like how it sounds, mellow at idle and when cruising but when you "get on it" it sounds really nice and aggresive. I love how it sounds. :)

from what i hear TSP Rumbler is very similar to SLP Loudmouth and Loudmouth is stainless steel and priced very similar to the ones u are mentioning...

+5 Votes for SLP Loudmouth right here!!! :bow:
had it on my car for almost a year now and loving it

If your looking at Hooker and Magnaflow you might want to consider the new Edelbrock system. Heres my clip:

And from inside:

Mine came with 3 foot long stainless 3" slant cut tips, but the rest is aluminised steel. I cannot fault the sound. Have fun choosing.:D

Magnaflow. Good sound and stainless. Polished muffler and tips. Search E-bay for deals as prices vary.

I just bought a magnaflow catback from a guy on Ebay. I cant wait to get it.

I hope it still sounds good on my 3.8.

My buddy has TSP Rumbler on his LT1 and it sounds SOOOO friggin good! He says it's a bit loud for him, but he's also got LT's w/ an ORY. It is the SLP LM's cousin exhaust as I see it, like mentioned above.

Magnaflow is a great bang for the buck, and isn't too loud for a DD.

Magnaflow, the hookers a little mild for my tastes

Hi CamaroUK,
Noticed you live in England :) ,love the sound of your Edelbrock cat-back,can I ask how much you paid for it and where you got it?.I also live in England and am very interested in buying a cat-back,fed up with the boring stock system.
Going to either get a Magnaflow,Hooker or an Edelbrock.I recently read an article in "Classic American" magazine about Magnaflow having an outlet in the UK,in Bromsgrove,which is only about 20 miles from me in the Midlands.
Just wondering if you purchased your Edelbrock over here or had it shipped from the US.
Apoligies for hijacking the thread,all the best,Mark.
P.S great to see somebody else from England posting on here,watched your video clip and noticed you were driving on the left ;)
