Need advice on exhaust.. HELP

Ok guys, I have a 1994 Trans Am, and I am wanting to install the ultimate free flowing exhaust and header system. Here is what I have come up with. If you guys could tell me if this would work or not that would be awsome. Also if you could give some tips that would be cool too. Here is what I want to get.

Jet Hot Lt's
Hooker off-road y-pipe(for no cat)
SLP Loud-Mouth cat-back system.


I live in Arkansas, so emmisions is not a problem. If you guys could tell me if this would work or not I would appreciate it.

Thats going to be a LOUD setup Personally, I'd opt for the JetHot longtubes and Hooker catback and retain the cat. The Hooker is just barely louder than stock at idle and screams in the upper RPM's. IMO, the Hooker catback is the best all-round system for these cars....if only they offered it in stainless steel

I have the hooker catback system as of now. I am looking for something a little more aggressive. You think that setup above would work though?

Ultimate? Open Headers.

Semi-Ultimate? Header mufflers with dumps.

Semi-Semi Ultimate? X-Pipe with dumps.

Not so Ultimate? Loudmouth/GMMG, any straight through muffler. Over the axle

Yeah, sure it will work-BUT it's going to be pretty loud. Regular loudmouth, without LT headers is barely quieter than a cutout. I used to run LM, and the car started to rattle itself to pieces, just like a cutout, and thats on a 40k mile car.

On a sidenote, my friend is looking for a used Hooker catback. PM me if you are intrested in selling it.

hmm, could you explain open headers a little more. I do not get what that is. Also, the slp loudmouth does not have a muffler, it just has a resignator.

Open headers?

Open headers is a pair of long tube headers for exhaust. Nothing else connected to them. Loud as hell.

Just FYI, if you already have the Hooker, that loudmouth is a good way to waste $350.

I agree. I have the hooker and I couldn't be more pleased
