I would say that the Hooker is prob a little tamer. Still screams at WOT, but tamer at Idle. Magnaflow is prob louder overall. Not by allot though. Both nice systems. You should be happy with either. I think that I am going to go magnaflow.

I really like my Hooker muffler. I have had it since I was completely stock, then without cats on stock manifolds & now with LT's & ORY. It has only gotten better as the exhaust got opened up even more.

There is very little interior noise & its sounds mean as hell from behind. Stays pretty quiet until about 3k then it starts to get loud. Its a very controlled loud though, not sloppy & has very minimal rasp if any. I don't ever plan to change if I don't have to.

I have the hooker catback and i think it sounds the best. IMO the magnaflow is a little raspier and louder.

I've had both, and decided to stick with Magnaflow. The inside of the Hooker Muffler came apart... Magnaflow is stainless steel and sounds better/louder to me
