Which one is unbearable

Which one resonates more and flows better the LMII or the Hooker exhaust?

LM will be much louder.

I doubt there is much difference as far as dyno #'s between the 2.

The LMII will flow more and be louder. The Hooker only suffers from the crossflow design, which isn't the greatest, but helps make the car look good
The LM and LMII are basically glorified cutouts. My buddy has one though (LM on an LT1) and it's pretty cool.

The other thing to consider is that the LM and II are stainless steel and Hooker is aluminum. The aluminum will rust eventually (pretty quick up here in the midwest) but I have no idea what the weather is like in your part of the Netherlands.

How does the loudmouth II sound in comparison to the flowmaster set-up.

W/headers and no cats every LM I've heard sounded like a truck w/glasspacks.

Um, do you understand how aluminum oxide works or did you not mean to type aluminum? All aluminum rusts. The rusting process is what makes it strong. It essentially becomes a sapphire chemically. The only thing really much stronger is diamond. So I don't know what the weather is like where you live, but unless it's raining mercury (which wouldn't be too good for your health) I don't think the aluminum will fall apart.

Actually stainless will rust too, and SLP doesn't use the best grade.
