Best bang for buck Catback

**Eric1987** · 08-03-2008, 08:40 PM

Just curious which offers the best performance and sound for the price. I dont want to go too expensive. Maybe somewhere around 300$.

**Eric1987** · 08-03-2008, 08:49 PM

Hookers work great and cost very little. If not hookers than Magnaflow. Check the sponsors for the systems If you can't find one ill PM you where you can get them.

Looks good thanks. Much cheaper than the site I found. Hopefully in the near future I'll do that. God so many more parts than my preludes catback lmfao.

rapter34 · 08-04-2008, 09:51 AM

well if you want less parts you could go true duals.

**Mr. Luos** · 08-04-2008, 10:05 AM

Magnaflow wouldbe my preference.

Hooker is another good choice.

**Eric1987** · 08-04-2008, 11:52 AM

Which is better in terms of performance? And which is cheaper?

i believe magnaflow has slightly better flow. . prob not a signicant amount tho. .
hooker usually runs $350
magnaflow about $400
you can probably find either cheaper if you do some searchin.

**Eric1987** · 08-04-2008, 12:23 PM

Ebay is no good for that stuff. I'll search more when I'm ready to get a catback.

**jd1666** · 08-04-2008, 12:24 PM

mangaflows better, hookers are cheaper id say save some money and go with magnaflows

**Mr. Luos** · 08-04-2008, 12:33 PM

I have heard of guys finding the Magnaflow catback for $320.
No idea where though.

**ibanez7** · 08-04-2008, 12:42 PM

its all a matter of opinion, regarding sound...

I run SLP LM2, with ory and a big cam on a m6... sounds mean and great no rasp or drone. Fabricated well too

Hooker Aero
Magnaflow

why buy a catback, ditch the cats, and go ORY with LTs, or X/H pipe couple of bullets and before the axles turn downs.

i just got done paying for a brand new dual exhaust with free highflow cat converter + free shipping for 409 bucks id rather have that then go with a cheap 300 exhaust that you know you wont be happy with.

**Eric1987** · 08-04-2008, 02:29 PM

Brand new dual exhaust? Isnt a catback an exhaust? Not used to V8's. I am used to little hondas please enlighten me.

You won't get duals for under $600 on an LS1 car.
