Help with Exhaust Setup 2012 V6 (LFX Engine)
I currently have 2.5 inch pipe all the way through (old exhaust off an SS) with a Magnaflow resonated X-pipe and muffler deletes, so cats and the x pipe are the only things muffling the sound. I'm wanting to get Hooker Catless downpipes but I'm afraid it will ruin the exhaust. What axle back system would give it an appealing tone with the catless downpipes?

Magnaflow mufflers in the rear will give it about as good a sound as you will want to get.

I'm running my LFX with Hooker Catless Downpipes, a Magnaflow Resonated X-Pipe, stock resonators and Flowmaster Super 10 Mufflers. The rasp between 2500-3000 and 5000-5500 RPMs is downright embarassing. I actually plan my shifts before 2500 usually, or I go WOT and blow right by it. I also experienced a pretty big loss of low-end torque when I went catless. It's actually a regret of mine, and I have High Flow Cats waiting to go on when I get some free time.
Also, beware Hooker, we cancelled an order for a customer after 4 months of waiting for their downpipes (customer wanted to wait), and the customer ended up purchasing American Racing Headers downpipes from us instead. There's about a week lead time with ARH right now, but they're reliable, and I believe Hooker even utilized the ARH design in their downpipes.
