Has anyone installed a Hooker cat-back system? How does it sound? I want a good cat-back for around $250. Any recommendations?

Thanks

The Hooker system sounds great, I love mine. Its very easy to install too, only took me like an hour or so. The one problem is that the intermediate pipe sits on the rear suspension unless you buy a U clamp and put it through the hanger.

I also have the hooker aerochamber catback which i installed myself. It took me way longer than an hour to install though (I spent most of the time cutting out my old exhaust system with a dremel.)

You cut off your old exhaust pipes with a Dremel? I'm curious, how exactly did you do this? Which attachment did you use on the Dremel? How long did it take you? thanx

Hooker was the best cat-back I have had...and I have had quite a few

 

I like it a lot. I have sound clips on my website if you are interested.
