I do have an exhaust leak and thats a good call on your side. Anyway, its all opinions and I don't agree with yours and you don't agree with mine. Lets just leave it at that...

I think the issue is that we are both making correct observations but the reality is that the catback will create a different sound on a different car. The sound is dependant on a lot more than just the catback, so conflicting reports of the sound/tone are going to happen. It must be more noticable in the 2OTL because there are so many different descriptions of the sound. Most people say it's really deep and rumbly, but I think it sounds different on my car and stereomandan seems to have the same observations on the cars he's heard.

Ok, besides the last few posts saying that Hooker is louder, I think I'm going to go w/ the slp 2otl. However, my next question is, where should I buy it? Where did you guys buy it at, price, and does anyone want to sell theirs to me?

I bought my 2OTL from the local dealer. I saved so much on shipping that the total cost was less than Fasttoys.
EVERYONE comments positively on the sound my car makes. They all think "muscle car" instantly. This may also be why the little Mustang boys won't race me - I can't get a race for any amount of trying around here. I think they scare easily......

Yeah, I had a Monte Carlo SS buzz by me and when I came back around next to him, he quickly cuts someone off to get into the left turn lane to get away from me Never had that happen before.
I also had a few girls yell to me from their car. They said "Can I have your car?" First time that ever happened too.
Fun stuff.

I bought my car with a 2OTL on it. I hated the way it looked, thinking I was gonna swap something else on immediately. The second the previous owner started it, I changed my mind
Oh, and 2OTL sounds AWESOME with an open cutout... I have a high quality 10mb video [of my car] if anyone wants to see it I just dont know where to host it.

How would having a cut out open make the 2OTL sound good? Nothing would go through the muffler, just out the cutout 
Anyway, my friend came over this afternoon, and we put out cars next to each other and let them idle. We both agreed that my Hooker and his 2OTL were too similar at idle to know which was louder. Then I got in and revved them both, and he said my Hooker was definitely louder. He then got in and revved them both, and I agree, my Hooker is definitely louder, while they both sound about the same in tone. It wasn't a huge difference, but it was definitely noticable.
Like I said in my earlier post, he has SLP 1 3/4 shorty headers and a gutted cat, and I have stock manifolds with an ORP.

BTW, your Hooker was a little louder because you aren't running a cat. If your buddy had an off-road pipe too, his 2OTL would be every bit as loud if not louder since he also has headers...

You must have not noticed that he has a gutted cat, while I actually had my cat removed and an ORP installed.
