Thumbs up Hooker Cat Back installed

Put on my hooker cat back this morning. Was very easy to install, took about an hour and 15 minutes. The sound is very nice. Nice mellow idle a bit deeper and a bit louder than stock. Crusing RPM is very quiet. Giving it slight gas up to about 3500 rpm sounds really nice. And WOT is awesome. I cut 3" off each tail pipe so the tips sit back farther under the bumper, looks really good. Performance gains are hard to judge, but it does seem to breathe better up top So far im very happy with this exhaust.

Heres a pic I took of it, i was worried that tips would look too "bling bling" for my tastes but with the shortened pipes I think they look pretty good.

Tips look nice. Looks normal to have them shortened. Wonder what they look like regularly.

With the normal length pipes the outer tips portrude a little bit out from under the bumper, some like the look but I like them better pushed back tucked under the bumper.

Just make sure you aren't running too rich, otherwise the carbon emitting from the pipes will leave black all over your bumper because you tucked them in. But they look nice
