Anyone with the Hooker Cat-back???
I already have the hooker comp-shorties and y-pipe, so I guess I might as well get the cat-back too??
Anyone got this and like it?
Should bolt right up to the y-pipe correct?

I'm happy with mine. Quiet at idle, nasty snarl at WOT.

Re: Anyone with the Hooker Cat-back???
I installe mine last summer and like it. It doesn't really have a very throaty sound at idle, but has a nice tone driving and under a load.The tips look good to...they were why i bought the Hooker kit. To get them to fit good I cut some lenght off the tailpipes, I like the tips to not stick out past the bumper. I can get some pics later if its not raining, if you would like to see how it looks.

Re: Anyone with the Hooker Cat-back???
I got it and I love it. I also had to cut a bit off the tailpipes so the tips were even. I don't have a cat on my car and it is pretty loud at idle. Nice low rumble. And it gets progressivly louder with throttle

Re: Anyone with the Hooker Cat-back???
Yeah, I'm not going to use their tips... I got a set of stainless 93+ tips I'm gonna use. I guess I might as well just buy the muffler and have the shop build the rest??
Problem is the fact it wont have a cat on it, so I know the normal shop I use wont touch the car.

Re: Anyone with the Hooker Cat-back???
yeah the hooker cat-back sounds pretty sweet IMO.
I had it on my first Bird... mild 355, hedman long tubes with a custom y pipe and no cat, it sounded BADASS and wasn't really that quiet like people usually say it is... maybe the long tubes and no cat made it louder, i dunno, but i'm buying one for my GTA as soon as I get the money

Re: Anyone with the Hooker Cat-back???
I know when I had my cat still on, the exhaust sounded almost as quiet as a prius, then I took off the cat and it made all of the difference in the world.
