Default Hooker Exhaust

I'm trying to pick a new exhaust for my 02 coupe. I like the sound of Stingers. But before I buy them I would like to hear a Hooker setup. I had a hooker catback on my Z28 and loved it. It was cheap but sounded the way I think the LS1 should.

So if anyone has a sound clip or knows where I can find one please share. I have looked in all the usuaul spots like ls1sounds.com. If someone in the Austin area has it installed I would buy lunch to hear it.

Thanks
Tony

They sounded good on my WS6 too (although a little quiet at idle) and they were cheap but they are heavy as all get out and aren't stainless so there is the longevity issue. I guess in this case you get what you pay for - so how much do you want to get?

I'm not looking to race so weight really isn't a major concern. Its more about sound for me. That will determine what I go with pure and simple.

I really do miss the loud pedal I had in the Z28. LTs and Hooker was very nice at WOT.
