Best sounding catback with LT's?
Ok, i used to love my Loudmouth before i got long tube headers, it totally changed the sound. I dont even like driving the thing anymore because people say it sounds more like a Harley-Davidson than a muscle car. Which catback would give it that deep muscle car sound again? or is true duals just the way to go?

Re: Best sounding catback with LT's?
Do you have a highflow catted Y-pipe or ORY? No cats will make that set-up sound very raspy/poppy FYI. 
With longtubes, the Hooker or Mufflex 3.5/4" hands down for a deep, muscle car sound. If you don't believe me, go listen to one in person for yourself (it's all about the "tone" and not just the volume).
Of course, true duals aren't a bad option either. 
Never cared for the Borla, Loudmouth, Corsa, or Magnaflow with headers though...

personally, i wouldn't want to cut up a stainless syste, to fit lt's. 1) they cost a lot 2) they are tougher to cut.
it depends on what you're looking for though. if you want a deep sound without much rasp and still plenty loud, go with a hooker catback. i have that on mine. i love it.
if you want loud, get true duals with your choce of mufflers.
I've personally heard the mufflex, hooker, flowmaster single outlet,borla &few others. the flowmaster single outlet sounded the best and the hooker 2nd. but i went with the hooker because i have single outlet exhausts.

Hooker is a great sound an damn good price. They flow just as well as Magnaflow and IMO sound better for less money. I think you can get the Hooker for $280ish from summit and jegs.

some like the sound of my car, but i think its mostly because its the loudest damn thing on the road. i have an ORY. i'd kinda like to keep its volume, but have a nice throaty tone...something that sounds angry, lol. i'm also getting a cam soon so i'm also keeping a nice sounding idle in mind as well...
