Catback
It's all dependent upon two variables: "Sound Quality" and "Price". Personally, I like the deeper throaty sound of the Hooker Catback not to mention the lower price. I got mine from Thunder Racing for $260. Of course you can pick up a full stainless Borla or Corsa for $600+ but the sound is not the same. I would not recommend the loudmouth(my personal opinion), after hearing it on numerous club members cars. It's way too loud for everyday use. Hooker is mild at idle, yet loud when you punch it.
Ian, you're in Hillsboroygh right. If you want to stop by sometime, preferably on the weekend and hear what the Hooker sounds like, let me know. I'm in town also. Good luck on your decision.

I'll let you know when I bring it in since I don't take it out every day. Maybe during our lunch break would be better. I'll touch base with you next week.

Hookers arent that obscenely loud... they have a very very nice downthrottle IMO ...

hooker has a nice deep sound on lt1's. Not to loud at all.
www.ls1sounds.com has a sound clip of an lt1 with a hooker.
one of my favorite set ups that I've seen was an lt1 with pacesetter lt's ory and hooker. sounded really nice.

These were all WOT vids of my car, but Once the weather clears up, i will get a few vids of crusing around town. i kid you not, at 50mph in idle, 5th& 6th gear, you wouldnt think that the car had LTS or an ory! loud the car is, it has a good sound throughout the whole RPM range, and not that terrible drone many are faced with today!

I like the hooker and I like the SLP dual/dual(but I'm biased since it's on my car).
Another question you have to ask yourself is do you plan on adding headers and an ORY pipe? That will definately need to be factored into the equation because that can and will change the loudness/tone/possible raspiness.
