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.

 

Yeah thats what im stuck on. the hooker sounds good. but so does the magnaflow. and its stainless steel. im leaning towards magnaflow

 

i'd go with magnaflow.... but personally i would get TD's dumped if u have longtube headers...

 

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!!!
had it on my car for almost a year now and loving it

 

i love my rumbler, never had any others to compare it to

 

My hooker catback with hooker long tubes and ORY sounds bad *** imo!
Here's a clip...
Doesn't do it justice...

thats a clip of a 97 WS.6 with as&m mids, off road pipe, and loudmouth catback quieted down with a borla xr-1 muffler...still sounds mean

 

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.

 

yeah i kind of like the loudmouth. but my girlfriend thinks its to loud its her car. and also ive never heard a sound clip of a LT1 with a rumbler. and her car has stock manifolds and y pipe on it.

 

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.
