Hooker Guys...

Which set of LT's if any did you use? Which Y?

I'm gonna use Pacesetter LT's and probably the Pacesetter Y, that means I keep my cats right? I was under the influence that LT's dismantle the Cats... but then I read that someone had their cats with their LT's to get rif of the popping sound... hrm

Anyway, all the hooker guys are very pleased with their performance/sound right? I forgot, is the hooker Stainless?

You can still use cats just might have to move them a little bit. Most people on here use hooker LT's.

I use jet-hot long tubes, hooker Y pipe and hooker catback. Just stuck a 3" high flow cat at the end of the Y pipe. Works fine I guess, but it's going when the new motor gets put together

How much did the high flow cat cost?

How do you like your sound?

Did everything click together smoothly?

I hope all the Pacesetter equipment will do the same, considering I heard they have a very similar setup.

I have the pacesetter lts and the y pipe, it is an offroad y pipe so no cats. It fit right up to my flowmaster cat back, the sound is awesome.

I have Jet Hot LT's waiting to be installed, but I'm kinda waiting to find a solution to run cats with them. I want cats but I thought I was going to have to install two of them. How does yours run with just one at the end of the Y? And how is the clearance/fit?

Runs fine, no issues. Spent $45 on a carsound cat off of ebay. No clearance issues. Cat is ~1" higher then the Y-pipe hangs. Header collectors are snug to the floorboard.

Great power. Sounds awesome opened up. Relatively mild at idle. Not as mild with the big cam now, but still reasonably quiet for the motor that's in the car. LOUD wide open, and very clean and hollow sounding.

Nothing clicked together at all. The Y-pipe is BOLTED to the headers, instead of the slip-fit like the pacesetter crap . The rest of the exhaust (cat and catback) is 100% welded.

I am interested in the Pacesetter set up to and was wondering why you thought they are 'crap' ? Are they known to fail or known not to produce HP/Sound like the hookers/slp lt etc..?

I'd just referring to how they fit up. They slip together, instead of having bolt flanges on the end. From my experience, slip-fits are nothing but leak-causing connections that should all be replaced with flanges and bolts

The Hooker is supposed to be pretty quiet cruising right? But sick at WOT? With LT's that is... and... how hard is it to install high-flow cats with LT's?

Is the Hooker cat stainless steel?
