Im installing Hooker LTs this weekend. My plan is to run the LTs w/ no cats with my adj.Borla catback. My question is what plate on the Borla are you using. Im thinking the one w/ the smallest hole. Tell me what you think.

 

i have a set of tpis longtubes on my car with no cat. when i installed the headers i had the wide open plate on mine. it was really loud, which is cool but i changed it to the smallest and it still sounds good.

 

I also switched from the largest to the smallest holed plate when I had my Borla. The smallest plate seems to be the best for this setup. Enjoy the LTs!

I use to run the smallest, but would whicth to the closed one on long trips or if I got sick of the noise level. My new combo will be in next week with Hooker-long tubes. I dought it will be any louder than with my Mac header with Off-Road y-pipe.

 

I run a closed plate on mine. Its definitely still really loud at WOT, but sounds "clean" in the midrange. I'm running without a cat by the way.

 

I dont know how loud yours is now but I was running the smallest whole and it was loud I now have the 2nd largest one in just too hear it even more I only got to drive it one day like this trans started slipping I bet when I get the 3000 stall in I will have to block it off
To answer your???? I would start big and step down untill you like it the best.

 

Thanks for all the replies i think i will start big until i find the sound im looking for.

 

If you want to sound NASCAR, run without the plate...

I use the smallest hole plate and it ranges from loud to NASCAR at WOT. The idle is wicked...

 

A good friend of mine has a '96 Ram air, with Hooker LTs and Borla. We both have the smallest hole plate in and his is a lot more quiet than mine. I think its because the Hooker LTs are equal length where as the FLPs are not. Therefore more bends in the Hookers to dampen sound.

There is a fair amount of rasp with the pass side open at all, however most of it goes away when you put the full block off plate in.

 

go to the link that says video's of the 95 to here mine I got the stall in and still have the 2nd largest plate in.. watch the laucnh video and listen to the sound real good you can hear it from a mile away...

 

I was wondering if the LT's will make much sound difference (loudness) over my current set up of off road y-pipe and Borla?
