I've often thought about trying the hooker black heart.

Exhaust is so hard unless you can hear them live. I am running Kooks into Flowmaster Outlaws & I hate it but other people love it. I guess its all personal preference.

We sell both, and both are nice systems. Our customers seen to favor the Borla.

That's what I had on my Camaro before the Corsa I have now. Had the 3 inch ZL1 Outlaw catback with quad tips. Sounded good when I first got it, but after a while grew to really hate it!! The drone from it would give you a headache after about an hour or so of cruising!! Love the Corsa I have now though, no drone!! And OP, on the aggressiveness you are looking for, couple of my friends have the Borla Attac and it does sound pretty meaty!! Especially if you have headers.

It’s all preference
Can’t go wrong with Borla ATAK. Quality, Fit and Finish are beyond great.
