Default Hooker exhaust going
Well my hooker exhaust is making a sound inside the muffler. I cant afford a catback system now because I just paid for LT's and a tsp Y pipe. Not sure what to buy. I found a lm1 muffler and a borla xr1 muffler fairly cheap.

You can buy a new Hooker muffler for your catback for $100.

^yup. Hookers have a small chambered tube inside of their casing that only has 2 TINY tack-welds holding it in it's place. When those welds pop the tube rattles around in it's hole.

Is it loud? Can you hear it over the idle?

I have the same problem... When my Hooker is noisy, it makes me want to raise my pimp hand.

Shouldn't be any worse. That tube can only roll back and forth about an eight of an inch.
