Default Hooker aerochamber

Anybody have any experience with a single in single out hooker aerochamber. I'm planning on running a 3" to 4" merge 4" cutout reduced back down to 3" and something similar to a Mufflex only a 3" system. Would the single aerochamber quieten the car down enough for a dd. I want the car pretty tame I just don't want tips.

Don't have any experience with a single in/out Aerochamber, but I do with the Hooker Maxflow. The Maxflow killed rasp much better than the dual tip Aerochamber I tried. I would look into the Maxflow if I were you. You can do a search and find many of the posts that I and others have written about it. Quiet in normal driving and authoritative when you get on it. I have a 3" to 3.5" FM merge back to 3" similar to what you're planning.

The hookers are good mufflers.

And why are you stepping down a full inch from 4 to 3 ?

I'm gonna run the 4" cutout for flow and reduce it back to 3 behind it so it's easier to get over the axle and the 3" will be quieter.

I've got the same set up on my 408 ws6 just into a hooker catback. Only down side I've found to it is I need to open the cutout before I can run it hard. My tuner says it's not safe with the cutout tune and it not open. I've got a cable and he emailed me both tunes so I can switch back and forth. Hopefully this car won't have enough flow difference to matter on the tunes.

I had a Hooker Aerochamber catback for a year. Still have the catback in my garage.

It is QUIET, but has a nice rumble that my friends and I all decided sounded like a lion in a cage growling. Barely louder than stock. Flows very well though.

Sadly I have a SS aero chamber 3.5" sitting on my self waiting to go into my RX-7(been there for over 2 years lol). Don't know what it sounds like but EVERY opinion I read was positive. Great sound, no rasp and not too loud. It's just physically quite large.

I just finished fabbing my exhaust. I run SS long tubes into Dual 3" mandrel sbends into a flowmaster dual 3 inlet to single 4" outlet. Then I run 4" over the axle into a hooker max flow then into a 4" dynomax ultra flow with a short turndown tip at the rear axle. I'm worried about sound being too loud so that's why I'm running dual mufflers. And the 4" case size is too large for my tranny tunnel. I don't see the point in reducing the exhaust after a cutout to control sound. Who wants to have to open it up when they want to get on it. I would just build the system correctly while not restricting flow.

I built my system for less than $300 and that's including both mufflers, all the pipe and mandrel bends, ypipe and all quality band clamps. I sold my custom 3" dual exhaust to build this kit to reduce noise, increase ground clearance and not limit flow.

I think it's important to say I was shocked to see the hooker max flow was made in China on the box when I received it. Dynomax in good ol USA.
