Flowmaster vs. Hooker Cat-backs
Flowmaster vs. Hooker Cat-backs
Which would sound best behind Lt's and an ORY? I am getting LT's this winter, and I don't think the LM will be suitable, though I will try it out first before buying a new cat-back? Thanks

sounds clips of lt1's with various exhaust combinations
imo i would go with hooker... i had flowmasters on my car before (with stock manifolds and stock y-pipe) and i didnt like the sound very much. that and i heard that flowmasters are the worst flowing exhausts for the lt1

Re: Flowmaster vs. Hooker Cat-backs
Depends on what series flowmaster youre talking about. The flowmaster catback (80 series) isnt a very nice piece IMO. I did however run a hooker catback for over a year and still have it in my garage in case i ever want to put it back on the car because i love the way it sounds. I took it off to put on a pair of dumped 40-series flowmasters.

Im running pacesetter long tubes, pacesetter offroad y pipe and a hooker cat back. Sounds pretty good to me. Not incredibly loud. It has a nice sound around 2500-3000 that appeals to me.

ive seen a cam only ls1 pick up 18rwhp (from 352 to 370) but opening the cutout so the engine didnt have to exhale through its flowmaster 80 series catback. i was shocked. i have a 30 series, im gonna dyno it and see how it does. im sure i lose a couple of hp through it.
