Exhaust options
I'm looking to ditch my Borla at the end of this year. I need something that sounds good and unmistakeably V8ish. I would like true duals but I dont want something overly loud, yet its debateable if I'll go that way. I was looking at the Hooker system. Cheap and I hear good things about it. X-pipe into bullets, or Hooker? Any other suggestions are welcome.

If you use highflow cats, the GMMG, SLP 2OTL, and Hooker are all very deep/throaty sounding with the GMMG being the loudest and Hooker being the quietest(SLP 2OTL in between). They all have an unmistakeable V8 rumble.

True duals with an X-pipe is the best sound I've heard on an LT1 F-body(but kinda raw and very, very loud). And there is absolutely NO rasp without cats this way. Ironically, Borla with headers/no cats, is the worst.

). My cats are long gone and I'm looking for the deep rumble, good V8 tone without earsplitting noise that works well with an O/R y-pipe. I think the Hooker would be my best bet.

there are always ways to quiet down a true dual system, I.E. run real mufflers instead of bullets, run pipes over the rear and out the back, put cats on it or even just a bullet inline with a regular muffler...even how you angle the exit pipes makes a difference.
